LOGAN SQUARE — Summer is still in session and although this weekend's Chicago Air and Water Show is the biggest event in town, there are plenty of other options in the neighborhoods.
Here are our six favorite events going on this weekend in Logan Square and Humboldt Park.
A Joyful Passage
Come out and join your neighbors in a special serenade of one of Humboldt Park's smaller parks, Simons Park. The Saturday night event, which is being put on by Opera-Matic, will include a serenade with hurricane sculptures, gigantic punching bags, boxing animations and a shadow boxing ring to celebrate the life of professional boxer Johnny "Hurricane" Heard, who was a boxing coach at the park's field house. The event starts at 7 p.m. at 1640 N. Drake Ave. and runs until 9 p.m.
