Weekend Events in Chicago May 11-16

What a week! It feels like the weekend started early this week with this gorgeous weather! We all needed this 😎!  We’ve got more great Weekend Events in Chicago May 11-16 that lie ahead: Gallagher Way for movies or supporting the Special Olympics, there are new exhibits at the MCA with a family day, or head to the Pullman neighborhood for Railway Days at Chicago’s newest monument.  If you’re working on spring cleaning, haul what you’re looking to donate over to St Andrew’s for the annual garage sale.  Or, take a class on cooking with lemons at the Chopping Block.  You can pick up our lemons at the best farmer’s markets in Chicago which are opening up too!
