Happy Spring to You!

As Chicago welcomes the arrival of spring, I am excited to share with you all the wonderful things that this season has to offer us!

Slowly the city awakens from the cold winter months and comes to life with a burst of color and activity. Two of the most notable signs of spring in Chicago are the blooming of cherry blossom trees in Jackson Park and the burst of colors from the tulips along Michigan Avenue! The sight of these flowers is truly breathtaking and let's us know that the seasons are finally shifting.

Another favorite sighting in Chicago during the spring season is the opening of our outdoor farmer's markets, where you can find fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts. Some of the most popular farmers markets in the city include the Green City Market in Lincoln Park and the Logan Square Farmers Market, but we have a list to help you get out and explore a variety of markets and neighborhoods.

Spring is also a great time to explore the city's many parks and outdoor spaces and even catch music or a movie in the outdoors. From Millennium Park and Grant Park to the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Garfield Park Conservatory, there are plenty of places to enjoy the warmer weather and take in the beauty of nature.

Of course, no discussion of spring in Chicago would be complete without mentioning baseball season. Whether you're a die-hard Cubs or White Sox fan, there's nothing quite like catching a game at Wrigley Field or Guaranteed Rate Field on a sunny spring afternoon. Maybe you are a soccer fan, then there is nothing like a Chicago Fire game at Soldier Field!

We hope this letter has inspired you to get out and enjoy all the wonders of spring in Chicago. From the stunning cherry blossoms to the vibrant markets and exciting baseball games, there's something for everyone to love about this season in our city.

Stay tuned because we have an awesome giveaway planned for our subscribers to play tourist in their own city!
