While New Orleans may hold the record for the most festivals of any Midwestern city, Chicago isn’t far behind. If there isn’t a convention or major city-wide festival going on during a week or weekend, there will likely be a smaller, community oriented festival going on in some part of town. Perhaps the most popular festival of the year only lasts three days. The Chicago Blues Festival comes to the city in June, but only lasts three days. If you are after a hotel room during this time frame, you may want to book as far ahead as you can. Soon after the close of the blues festival is the Taste of Chicago, which leads right into the busy July 4 weekend. This is a massive ten day festival which showcases everything that this city has to offer in the way of food.
