Things To Do
Architecture Boat Tour
Chicago has some amazing architecture, and the best way to see it is by cruising down the river.
Chicago Jazz Festival
Chicago hosts a free jazz festival in Millenium Park each Labor Day weekend. Bring a blanket, some wine and snacks, and catch some live music in the park.
Millennium Park
Home of The Bean.
North Avenue Beach & Lakefront Trail
If the weather is nice, we recommend checking out the lake-front path and stopping at one of Chicago's beaches. The path is great for running or biking if you're looking to be active!
Chicago Riverwalk
Walk the recently renovated Riverwalk along the South side of the Chicago River. Great for taking in the architecture, watching boats, and having a drink.
Kingston Mines
Kingston Mines is the largest and oldest continuously operating blues club in Chicago. Live blues all night long 7 nights a week.
The Second City
Where a ton of the comedic greats got their start. Go here for some laughs.
Wrigley Field
Sadly the Cubs will not be in town during our wedding weekend, but it's still worth checking out Wrigleyville.
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
Emily's favorite Chicago-style pizza.
