Whether Chicago is in the midst of its icy winter or is enjoying sunny days, the city always offers a vibrant cultural scene. The orderly configuration of Chicago's streets and the excellent public transportation system make this city more accessible than most of the world's other large cities.

During the summer months there are a variety of festivals in Grant Park on the shores of Lake Michigan. The Art Institute of Chicago stages major exhibitions and the city's thriving music scene consistently delivers the goods, from blues, rock and jazz to classical at Orchestra Hall. In short, it's always a great time to be alive on the Third Coast!
