The last month of summer is upon us, which means it's time to wrap up your seasonal bucket list before the little ones have to head back to school. This month, there are plenty of things to do in Chicago with kids and events to enjoy throughout Chicago. Celebrate the city's youth at the annual Bud Billiken Parade, check out a traveling circus, see a movie in Millennium Park or trek to Springfield for the Illinois State Fair. Don't snooze on August—there are so many things to do with kids in Chicago if you know where to look.
