Friday
White Sox Bus Trip Lottie's, 1925 W Cortland St (773-489-0738, lottiespub.com). 6pm; $60. Lottie's motorcoach takes you out to the ballgame where the Sox play the Milwaukee Brewers on their home turf. The bus is stocked with beverages and snacks.
Friday-Sunday
Strawberry Fest Downtown Long Grove, between Old McHenry Rd and Robert Parker Coffin Rd (visitlonggrove.com/strawberry). 10am–6pm; $5 suggested donation for adults, kids free. This family-friendly festival features strawberry everything—shortcake, donuts, ice cream, drinks, chocolate-covered strawberries and even a pie-eating contest.
Sunday
Need a good reason to go to yet another craft market? How about free beer and cocktails, compliments of Goose Island brew and Spicebox Whisky. Today Dose Market celebrates its one-year anniversary—one year of heavily curating a selection of quality local purveyors and eschewing the put-a-bird-on-it ethos of most DIY markets. This morning, check out an editioned card deck and prints by design-duo Uusi, Grow Studio dollhouses, Gentleman's Boombox's speakers, Nellcôte's house-milled flour and pasta, and several other products. As usual, hand-crafted food and drinks will be flowing. River East Art Center, 435 E Illinois St (312-321-1001, rivereastartcenter.com). 10am–4pm; $10, advance $8.
Sunday
Chicago Pride Parade Broadway and Montrose Ave (chicagopridecalendar.org). Noon. Take 450,000 hungover paradegoers, stir in 200 over-the-top floats, mix in several dozen vote-hungry politicians, add throngs of scantily-clad men and women, sprinkle generously with glitter and condoms, and you get this 43rd annual shot of queer goodness. Changes are afoot this year including a new parade route starting at the corner of Montrose Ave and Broadway.
