It has only been two years since the first sections of the Chicago Riverwalk opened to the public, but the riverfront pathway has already become a mainstay of summer in the city. You'll have even more excuses to spend an evening by the water thanks to a new series of events that will highlight Chicago's 28 sister cities and their respective food, drinks and music.
Unifest on the River kicks off Thursday, July 13 from 4:30 to 8:30pm on the Riverwalk between Wells and Franklin Streets, with weekly festivals planned every Thursday through August 17. Each event will feature a DJ spinning music from a different country; international beer, wine and spirits; and foreign cuisine. You'll be able to sit by the water and munch on Italian mortadella sandwiches, Swedish meatballs, Chinese chilled noodles, Greek baklava and more.
Take a look at the full lineup of Unifest events, look forward try some new foods and maybe start planning that international getaway you've been putting off for months.
