It seems my blogs are few and far between, yet lengthy lately. So, I'm going to make an effort to post more and keep them short and sweet! Festival season has begun in Chicago, and I am loving it! One of my soon-to-be professors at SAIC gave me the excellent advice to enjoy my Chicago summer and the wonderful festivals....I certainly intend to do just that! I added all the festivals I could to my Google calendar to keep them straight.
We got started last weekend at the Old Town Art Festival. Almost an entire neighborhood was taken over by hundreds of art booths, food, and live music. It was packed in amidst the vintage town homes of Old Town....so cute! I'd love to live in a neighborhood like that or Lincoln Park one day....we'll see. Anyway, we had a nice relaxing stroll browsing all different kinds of art. (Unfortunately my phone battery was low so I didn't get to take any pics.)
The following day we headed to the Blues Festival in Grant Park. That Sunday was absolutely gorgeous, and people were just chilling in the park BYOB style. There was lots of food and 3 stages of music.
We people watched, and just hung out with everyone else...such a great afternoon. I love this kind of relaxed atmosphere right in the middle of the city. It's an awesome energy.....awesome city!
