Welcome to Chicago, IL

Experience the Thrills and Excitement of the Windy City in Chicago, IL

The metropolis lies along the shores of Lake Michigan on the northeastern border of the state. Today, more than 50 million people from across the country and around the world visit the city for the chance to attend Broadway presentations, music concerts and professional sporting events. Some of the many popular attractions include the John Hancock Observatory, Navy Pier and the Museum of Science and Industry.

Things To Do

For five days during January, area residents forget the bitter cold while attending the annual Tomorrow Never Knows Festival. Lincoln and Schubas Halls offer a line-up of Indie acts performed by local and national artists.

For an entire weekend in February, music enthusiasts have the chance to hear folk music from around the world during the annual University of Chicago Folk Festival. During the event, audiences are treated to everything from traditional Bluegrass and vintage jazz to Celtic, gypsie and Polish tunes.

The gala Good Food Festival & Conference spans three days in March at the UIC Forum. More than 150 exhibitors set up booths and tables in order to display an immense selection of locally produced and harvested foods. The event also features live cooking demonstrations, animal exhibits, lectures and other activities.

When in the need for a bit of humor, audiences attend the week-long Chicago Improv Festival in May. The event features the comedic talents of more than 170 groups of performers hailing from nine countries. Audiences have the choice of attending as many of the 105 shows as desired, which are presented at 21 local venues.

During the month of August, the Chicago Dancing Festival presents the talents of leading dance companies from Chicago and across the country. The event spans five days in Millennium Park.
