As we know, Chicago is an ideal and popular destination for events, conventions and festivals alike. Throughout a year, there are numerous opportunities for Chicagoans to take an escape from daily routes. Outdoor live music, fairs, shows, and movies, and indoor art galleries, free museum days, theaters and concerts……there is something for everyone in Chicago!
Currently, the 2011 World Music Festival and Chicago SummerDance are going on in Chicago, offering annual pleasures for people in or out of the city. However, as these two featured events have schedules on several days, you have no need to visit them with the throng of people on this Sunday. Let's look for something unique and special on September 18!

The city's only car show is going back this Sunday, September 18, at 3800 W. Ogden Avenue (also known as Historic Route 66). The show will take place at 12pm and last to 6pm.

Sundays at Maxwell Street Market
This is a Chicago's tradition - Sunday street market on the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Desplaines Street! This new Maxwell Street Market, though in the same name with the original one, is actually not on Maxwell Street. This open air market can date back for decades and perfectly reflects the diverse ethnic cultures that make today's Chicago!
The Sunday market opens from 7am to 3pm, selling a dramatic variety of stuff at bargaining price, ranging from fruit, clothes and accessories, to household items and books. It is, to some extent, a secret of Chicagoans for great deals! Moreover, Maxwell Street Market is also a wonderful place for a stroll, meeting local people and trying authentic Mexican meal at cheap rates.
However, it seems the Sunday weather may add some unfavorable elements to these two outdoor events. According to the latest weather forecast, Chicago is going to rain on Sunday, September 18, with 40% probability of isolated showers. The temperatures range from 70°F to 55°F and the wind is 12mph from South. So if you are in mood of outing on Sunday, remember to take a light raincoat or umbrella!
