Air and Water Show, Outdoor Music, and More Things to Do with Kids in Chicago This Weekend | MommyPoppins

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.

You know summer is winding down in Chicago when you hear the sounds of the Air and Water Show blazing through the Loop and the near North Side. Families can check out all the action from North Avenue Beach. Outdoor concerts are hitting their final notes, too, with Grant Park Music Festival playing its final performance, along with neighborhood and suburban series’ like Bands on Broadway and Oakbrook Terrace Summer Concert Series appoaching their finales. Pick up some back-to-school freebies and meal ideas in Garfield Ridge or East Garfield Park at school-starting soirees. 

Speaking of back-to-school, it’s a great time try out one of our 15 things to do with Chicago kids before school starts. Take one last visit to a Chicago museum like the Adler Planetarium. And you can introduce your new parent friends to Mommy Poppins with this article about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting classes in the Chicago area.

Here are our top picks for events to attend with your kids this weekend!
