July in Chicago - Events and Highlights

As I write in our July events listings, Carl Sandburg may have described Chicago as the City of the Big Shoulders, but in July I think of it more as the City of Long Legs stretching out on the front porch of summer. Find great events here for stretching your middle month of summer as far as you can. The guys pictured above are playing futbol in an inflatable field at the annual Fiesta del Sol celebration in Pilsen.
