Things to do in Chicago in the Summer

Summer is upon us here in Chicago

so with great weather comes all the great thing to do in Chicago for the next couple of months.

There is so much to do in Chicago, you can go eat at many of the food festivals, enjoy at concert, even enjoy at movie at the park.
