1. See Latino art

Distorted porcelain sculptures arranged between potted plants and sound installations make up Rodrigo Lara Zendeja’s “La Paz” exhibit. Inspired by moments where life and faith collide, Zendeja’s work often reflects the issues immigrants face when relocating to another country. (Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S Cornell Ave, 9am–8pm. Free)

2. Experience an Irish funeral

An interactive, improv-based play, Flanagan’s Wake will be just as lively as a true Irish wake. Tip a pint to the late Irish lad and get ready for a procession of memorable characters. (Chicago Theater Works, 1113 W Belmont Ave, 7:30pm. $49)

3. Head to a music fest

At four venues around Edison Park, music lovers can band-hop to see more than 45 local and regional musicians. From country rockers to No Doubt tribute bands, this fest has something for everyone. (Various locations, 6pm. $10–$15)
