There’s something for everyone in the family this weekend.
Start the fun early with a display at Northwestern created by an internationally known light artist or a concert in Chicago during the TNK Festival.
You can also get your kids outside Saturday with an investigation at The Grove and Frost Fest in Lake Forest. Or plan a date night in Evanston and do some good by helping workers displaced by the Davis Street fire.
