You picked a good week to come. I live here and check out the Taste of Chicago. Watch the fireworks on the 3rd and while around downtown walk the beach. Go to Navy Pier, hit some of the museums and Shed aquarium.

At night its easy go to any clubs and or bars around down town. Take public transportation for sure and don't rent a car.

OOO and for sure go to Wrigley Field and watch the Cubs play. After the game you can hit all the bars around Wrigley and will have a great time.
