If you’ve been looking for an excuse to get out of the city this summer, now is your chance. The Illinois Beer Festival is happening this weekend at the Grundy County Fairgrounds, with sips from 24 different breweries. However, the city is still up to it’s usual antics, with a series of sit-down-dinners, and an Italian celebration at Oak Street Beach.
