LINCOLN SQUARE — What's that you say? The Air and Water Show is this weekend? I can't hear you over the screaming jets.
And those are just the cargo planes heading to O'Hare.
If joining a couple million people on the lakefront isn't your idea of a good time, there's still plenty of earthbound fun to be found in the neighborhoods this weekend:
Bowmanville Summer Social, noon to 4 p.m., Saturday. Free sausages and ice cream, kids activities, music and raffle prizes. 5384 N. Bowmanville Ave. (Bowmanville and Bell).

Not familiar with Burmese culture? Enjoy an evening of Burmese music and dance at Global Garden, 6 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence and Sacramento. Free. Pack a picnic and a blanket/chair and BYOB.
It's gonna be a scorcher on Saturday. What better time to enjoy the musical stylings of Ice Bombe at the Horner Park Farmers Market, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., California and Montrose avenues. The duo will perform their unique cover versions of everything from Johnny Cash to Joan Jett.
