With a warm February weekend ahead, we wanted to help you get out of the house and experience some Chicago magic. We all know that Chicago summers are the epitome of fun with endless festivals, outdoor concerts, and walks around scenic neighborhoods. However, Chicago is truly a city of bottomless activities all year around. Back after a long break, here are your weekend plans with HFM!
Check out RamenFest located in the West Loop. While we have raved about our personal favorite of Furious Spoon, we’re looking forward to the amazing lineup of Chicago’s staple restaurants. Better yet, a portion of the proceeds will go to Inspiration Kitchen , a nonprofit organization geared towards creating sustainable change through food in Chicago’s homeless and low income populations. We can certainly slurp to that!
Valentine’s Day is not over for the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. The I Heart Birds festival tonight, will not only teach your children about the lifestyles of our feathery friends, but also meet some of them! It’s not too late to fly the coop over for some late Valentine’s Day fun.
Test your knowledge or sophisticated drinks at the Whiskey and Wine Festival . With over 40 selections of wine and whiskey, you can either show off your knowledge of these beverages or leave with a newfound understanding of tastes.
Spend your Sunday looking at beautiful crafts and listening to soulful tracks at the Hyde Park Handmade Bazaar. The Bazaar features an open bar and free admissions, not to mention the lengthy list of vendors offering everything from jewelry to sweets. Check out the list of vendors and check into a Sunday full of relaxing.
Explore 50 of Chicago’s Wards in 50×50 Invitational/The Subject is Chicago: People, Places, and Possibilities. The Chicago Cultural Center is featuring 50 artists as they depict life in the city through video, photography, sculpture, and other forms of artistry.
This event is so cool, you have to bring your kids… or just yourself! The Annual Engineering Festival has a ton of free activities from a mini-tour on how to read a building to design challenges to even meeting with an engineer.
