This is a great weekend for bookworms, who can shop a children’s book sale in Lake Forest before visiting the Printers Row Lit Fest to browse books and hear from favorite authors and celebrities.
And if you’re a fan of festivals, don’t miss two tasty events in Chicago: Lincoln Park Greek Fest and Pilsen Food Truck Social.
