This is a part of Lashaunta Moore's written series 'Fun For Less in Chicago: Memories Without Financial Stress.' Most places are free to enter; the rest will be low-cost. Everyone deserves to have fun.

Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With its breathtaking downtown attractions and food that satisfies your hungry needs, there's no other place like it. You don't always have to spend a lot of money to have a good time; in some areas, you won't have to spend a dime unless you choose to.

Warm weather. A handful of wind breeze. Great food. Summertime Chicago.

There's nothing like strolling downtown on a nice summer day and enjoying life before the season switches. If Navy Pier's "Live on the Lake!" isn't on your 'things to do in Chicago' list, make sure you add it. It's a free live music summer concert series in the Navy Pier Beer Garden.
