Festivals

There are a few festivals taking place this weekend that would be convenient for visiting prior to the Pre-Conference Dinner:

• Midsommarfest - in Andersonville, just up Clark Street or the Red line (at the Berwyn stop) from Goose Island (site of the Pre-Conference Dinner).
• The Old Town Art Fair - in Old Town, south on Clark Street from the Pre-Conference Dinner. (Clark buses are usually frequent during the day.)

Further away, there's also the Festa Pasta Vino in the "Heart of Italy" neighborhood.

Also, note that The Shedd Aquarium is having its free community days from June 15th to the 20th. During these days, general admission is free; seeing the special exhibits (i.e., the dolphins, whales and sharks) will still require a charge. The same is true for The Adler Planetarium. The Museum of Science and Industry has free days from the 17th to the 22nd, if you're staying after the conference.
And The Lincoln Park Zoo is always free.
