 Welcome to 'Things to do in Chicago' on this vibrant Friday, May 23rd, 2025 As we kick off the weekend, Chicago is buzzing with energy, and the weather is just right for a day out – mild temperatures and clear skies set the perfect stage for exploring this incredible city.

First, let's dive into some of the exciting events happening today. For music and culture enthusiasts, the Old Town School of Folk Music is hosting "The Working Songwriter Forum" at the Myron R. Szold Music & Dance Hall, starting at 10:00 AM. This is a great opportunity to delve into the world of songwriting and enjoy some live music[1].

If you're looking for something a bit more lively, head over to the Division Street Farmers Market, open from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Here, you can find fresh seasonal produce, unique Chicago-made products, and a variety of prepared foods, making it a fantastic spot for families and foodies alike[5].

For those who enjoy comedy, the Annoyance Theatre & Bar is hosting its weekly "Comedy Hour" starting at 12:00 AM on Saturday, but you can catch the pre-show excitement and atmosphere from the evening of the 23rd. This eclectic mix of new material from Chicago comics is sure to keep you laughing[5].

In terms of local news, Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, and Chicago is gearing up for a series of events. The city is preparing for street closures around the Sueños Chicago festival, so be sure to plan your routes accordingly. Additionally, Navy Pier will kick off its summer fireworks series on Saturday, May 24th, with shows every Wednesday and Saturday through August 30th[3].

If you're looking for must-do activities today, consider visiting the 360 Chicago Observation Deck for panoramic views of the city, or take a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour to explore Chicago's iconic landmarks. For a unique experience, check out the Museum of Ice Cream, a sweet treat that's fun for all ages[2].

Here’s a local tip: When navigating Chicago, remember that the city's grid system makes it relatively easy to get around. However, for a more authentic experience, try using public transportation or taking a stroll along the Lakefront Trail, which offers stunning views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline.

As we wrap up today's highlights, don't forget to tune in tomorrow for more exciting events. The Ridge Run and Parade in Beverly/Morgan Park is a Memorial Day tradition you won't want to miss, featuring a 10K, 5K, Youth Mile Race, and a parade starting at 10:30 AM[3].
