End of Summer? Or not!

While Labor Day is the official end of summer, to us Chicagoans, the end of summer is when the weather starts to get too cold to sit outside and dine and dance. Though several of the public parks free activities end as well as fireworks, it does not end the weekend festivals and fun. This Labor Day weekend Chicago will host the 33rd annual Jazz Festival in Grant Park, always a hit with locals and tourists alike. It begins Thursday, September 1st through September 4th. There is also a new festival, called North Coast Music Festival, which will have 50 different bands playing September 2nd through 4th. These 2 fests do not put an end to the weekend fun however. All through the month of September you will find things to do.

Last but not least are our baseball teams. Not, that either one has played well. At least for the Cubs, they too will play another 3 weeks of painful baseball if that is what you can call it….. Now on the other side of the City, on the Southside, we have our White Sox. They are in 5th place caused by a wild losing streak a few weeks back, darn! Anyway, it is still a great time catching a game at either park. Mainly because either park host tons of local Chicago food and tons of beer of course.

So, hopefully we’ll see you soon here at the Knickerbocker Hotel and just in case you need assistance or have any questions, you can reach Paul or me, Sheryl at the Concierge Desk. 312-867-7552
