Looking for the best things to do in Chicago this weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.

It's not even Memorial Day, but outdoor festivals are officially back up and running this weekend in Chicago. Music lovers can get their fill of tunes at the Bitter Jest Musical Festival in Highland Park, Mayfest in Lincoln Park, or the BBQ and Blues Fundraiser in Villa Park. Artsy families might like to take a look at the Spring Renegade Craft Fair in Andersonville or the Spring Roscoe Village Art and Craft Festival. And gardener families will flourish at Blooming Fest in West Chicago or What's Blooming on Harrison in Oak Park.

Drive-in movies are also back up and running, so check out one from our list of outdoor movie theaters in the Çhicago area. Green City Market is also happening this weekend in Chicago, so now is a great time to check out our newest neighborhood guide on Lincoln Park. And start looking out for reservations at a restaurant along the Chicago River.
