1. It’s June, and that means summer street festival season is in full effect. This weekend, Wicker Park’s Do Division crams 10 city blocks with vendors, sidewalk sales and two stages of live music programmed by the Empty Bottle and Subterranean. Tonight sees Ted Leo and the Pharmacists headlining on the east stage and La Luz on the west end. The fest is open from 5 to 10pm tonight; there’s a $10 suggested donation for entry.
2. Hyperconfessional pop superstar Taylor Swift sets up shop at Soldier Field for two shows tonight and tomorrow—in case you’re wondering about that high-pitched screaming sound coming from the lakefront, it’s 60,000 aspiring members of T. Swift’s squad. Camila Cabello and Charli XCX support at both 7pm shows; tickets start at $55.50.
3. Drink up at the first night of the semiannual Chicago Ale Fest, which takes place outdoors at Butler Field in Grant Park. More than 200 craft beers will be available for sampling, and some of the 80-plus breweries on hand don’t distribute their brews in Chicago outside of the fest. A $49 ticket gets you 20 3-ounce samples starting at 7pm; for $59, you can get in an hour earlier.
