Plan your next adventure with the 2025 guide to Summer Fun
Looking to plan some fun outings for the family or just enjoy a relaxing evening in the park with live music or a movie? Maybe you are looking to pencil in the dates for the upcoming community festivals, art shows, or food fests.
With the Daily Herald Summer Fun guide, readers can pull up the e-edition.dailyherald.com and peruse the 64-page guide in a convenient, searchable PDF format.
You’ll find listings for regional art fairs, fireworks, parades, neighborhood carnivals, outdoor concerts, cruise nights and other seasonal events that will help you plan your summer and make the most out of the weeks ahead.
The 64-page guide also offers getaway ideas, like heading up to Racine for 20th annual Great Lakes Motorcross or the two-day HarborFest in June. Or travel back in time with Springfield’s two new Route 66 experiences debuting in July or the 16th season of History Comes Alive.
Not to mention Macomb’s immersive exhibit, The MACOMBOPOLY, featuring oversized Monopoly-inspired game pieces spread across the historic downtown courthouse square. The classic board game got its inspiration from The Landlord's Game, invented by Macomb's own Lizzie Magie in 1903.
If you’re looking for outings closer to home, check out the feature story on all of the exciting summer exhibits at museums in Chicago and the suburbs, or check out the new features offered by the Schaumburg Boomers or Kane County Cougars. You’ll also learn about new local attractions, like the French Market in Roselle, or shows at The Genesee Theatre or Paramount Arts Center.
