Take some time to relax and unwind during this long weekend.
Bring your yoga mat to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum for a class among butterflies, or learn from new yoga instructor Danni Allen (“Biggest Loser”).
Not a yogi? Relax with a show instead. Evanston’s S.I.T.E. Festival kicks off this weekend, or celebrate Memorial Day with a tribute concert in Arlington Heights. Plus, there’s shopping to be done at the opening weekend of the Chicago Antique Market.
