Travel Suggestion

If you live near Chicago, driving might be your best option as the events over the weekend are a bit spread out.

Travel Note

Driving?

Are you driving to Chicago from Minnesota? Be prepared for the tolls! You can find more information about the tolls here: https://www.illinoistollway.com/tolling-information#Toll%20Collection. It says that you can pay with cash, or can also pay online (make sure to remember which toll it was) within 7 days. You can also use this website (https://tollguru.com/toll-calculator) to estimate how much it will cost to go through the tolls. For example, if you're traveling from Minnesota to downtown Chicago, it looks like it will cost around $10.90.

Travel Note

Parking Near Saturday Venue

If you're driving to the events on Saturday, there are a few cheaper parking spots to consider. These are: - W Washington Blvd & N Green St - 1000 W Fulton St - W Madison St & N Ada We were told that each option is about $15, and that it will take between 5-7 minutes to walk from there. Another option is to park farther away and uber to the venue. There may also be free parking on N Racine Avenue off of W Madison St.
