While we all adore the Windy City as our “winter wonderland,” who doesn’t eagerly await summertime in Chicago? From the easy-going, beach-bumming lakefront to the bustling neighborhood street festivals, sprinkler play and overall cheer, Chicago lights up, inside and out, all summer long. In June, our city transforms into an amusement park for adults and kids alike, and we can’t get enough!
That’s why Families in the Loop’s June theme can only be… Celebrating Chicago! Rain or shine, we’re moving, doing, seeing, playing, and simply soaking up the city’s best offerings – from sunrise to set, seven days a week. FITL’s Celebrating Chicago’s got tons of fun, insider scoop and new ideas about everything you need to make this summer your most fabulous and unforgettable. Check back frequently to hear from our friends at the Lincoln Park Zoo, Ravinia, Green City Market, On the Go and so many more Chicago Faves!
We hope you feel, taste, and experience Chicago with your kids in a brand new way. Families in the Loop: your destination for fun and fresh ideas and insight into the best of Chicago living – all summer long.
