Rock out, eat up, and then spring a pup for a “New Leash on Life”! Festival season is approaching full swing in your favorite Chicago neighborhoods and the festivities are moving outdoors. The 17th annual Mayfest brings rock-n-roll and beer gardens to Chicago all weekend long, while the patio bar at Fizz hosts an event for the city’s forgotten pups. Celebrate Food Revolution Day at Karyn’s on the Green and then have Tea with Turtles at the Peggy Notebart Museum. Top it all off with a live performance from Laurence Juber and you’ve got a great Chicago weekend planned.
Have you and your friends ever thought about how cool it would be to retrofit your Chicago homes with solar panels? For the average American (and probably for you), that likely seems about as realistic as installing a full-length basketball court in the basement.
Unfortunately, the case for custom-built basketball courts isn’t likely to change, but solar panels are rising in popularity, and the reason may surprise you. Those who manufacture and install solar panels are realizing that, in order to target a broader audience, they’ll have to proactively manage costs for interested homeowners.

This weekend, Chicago is keeping it green while celebrating pets, wine and Cinco de Mayo. Adventurers can wander out for Friday’s “Frog Frolic Night Hike” and then start the next morning with some quality pup time at “Bark in the Park.” When it’s time for less demanding events, visit the Green Festival at Navy Pier or try a signature “Small Plate, Big Pour” at Fleming’s Steakhouse. And of course, the Cinco de Mayo festivities will last all weekend long, before wrapping up with the Sunday parade. It’s time to take your weekend outside and enjoy the buzz about Chicago!
