The 11th annual Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art—as featured in Publishers Weekly, Chicago Review of Books, Block Club Chicago, and more—takes place October 26 to November 2. This one-of-a-kind cross-cultural, bilingual festival brings together writers and visual artists from Mexico and Chicago for a week-long series of public programming at venues throughout Chicago. Inspired by the media landscape of both presidential elections taking place in the countries this year, the theme of the festival is “Saturation/Saturación.” Participants will consider concepts such as intensity, combination, absorption, maximums and limitations as they respond to the urgent political, social, and environmental issues confronting both countries.

Chicago&#39;s most worthwhile attractions&mdash;do your homework and you can spend a lot of time exploring. [The following appears unrelated and likely a separate topic:] Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, and some bronzes from the China Pavilion. This close encounter with art and history is incredibly satisfying and enriching.

It&#39;s worth visiting, but the price is a bit high, so it doesn&#39;t feel like great value for money. There&#39;s a slanted window inside that offers a downward view of the city, but that costs extra. Overall, it doesn&#39;t feel like good value for money.

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

So much fun walking around here! Perfect for dating spots as well. I came with my bf&amp; we had so many things to talk about all the times. Highly recommend&amp; my bf got free ticket for Illinois residents!

Grant Park

Natural scenery

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
