MORE FREEBIES

​I want to welcome back my loyal readers. I'm so glad you come back again and again and I hope you are enjoying all that Chicago  has for FREE.

For those of you who are new to my blog let me explain this is not a “what’s happening today” spot. Rather, it is a source of information about (mostly) regularly scheduled FREE events and local organizations that offer FREE activities throughout the year.
 
I hope you will use the blog like a guidebook as you plan your visit in advance. I highly suggest you start with my first post on 1/1/2016 and work your way through. You can then make notes of those places you want to see and events you want to attend and have a FREE FOR ALL in Chicago.
