Join the Lincoln Park Greek Fest and see what being Greek means by enjoying life to the fullest and relishing the world around you. The Lincoln Park Greek Fest provides an opportunity to experience the ancient Greek concept of "filoxenia" and the famous hospitality of the Greek culture. This popular annual cultural celebration, held on the grounds of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, offers authentic and flavorful food, great music, dancing, and pure fun. St. George Greek Orthodox Church and the Lincoln Park Greek Community are proud to host the Lincoln Park Greek Fest. It is an opportunity for everyone to embrace and celebrate Greek culture, even if they are not of Greek heritage. The fest promises everyone will be proudly Hellenic for at least a day. So, come on, elate! Be Greek for a day and experience what they are all about.

The Empty Bottle sounds like an excellent spot to catch some live music. They offer affordable drinks, reasonable cover, and a fun crowd. It's interesting to note that the bar started as a cat-filled hole-in-the-wall in 1992 but later moved two blocks up the street to a slightly larger and better-equipped venue. They've been putting on great shows for the past 20 years and have managed to maintain their success thanks to their low prices, lack of attitude, and loyal customer base.

If you're searching for an exciting day trip near Chicago, look no further than Raging Waves Waterpark. With nine waterslides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and a giant sandbox, kids and adults alike will have a great time. Since opening to the public in 2008, Raging Waves has expanded to cover 58 acres, adding 15 more waterslides, 43 private cabanas, and 11 dining options. It's hard to believe that it all began with only 17 waterslides, a ¼ mile-long lazy river, a 350,000-gallon wave pool, a sand area, a leisure pool, and two restaurants.
