Chicago is a great city with lots of things to do, but traveling a bit outside of the city can be just as rewarding. In fact, there are some great events year-round that are perfect for getting together with friends and enjoying a fun afternoon just outside of the city. This summer, consider going to one of these events in the suburbs of Chicago.

Summer Events in Chicago

• Lombard Ale Fest – This event is for those who are 21 or older because it's focused completely on beer, so grab your friends and head over here on June 9. It is located west of the city and features over 80 craft beers from the area, food trucks so you can enjoy a variety of delicious food, and live music all afternoon. 
• Villa Park Summerfest – This event is for all ages and takes place on June 15 and 16. At this event, you can enjoy some good food, beer, live music and even a car show.

• Taste of Boilingbrook – This is a fun-filled, entertaining event located southwest of the city and is kid-friendly. At this event, you can enjoy some delicious local food, live Midwest blues music and so much more. There are plenty of kid's activities, so it is perfect for your whole family.
