August Events on Chicago's North Shore!

Back to school may be just around the corner, but there is still plenty of summer left to enjoy on Chicago's North Shore! From festivals to days at the museum to farmers markets and movies under the stars, you can count on your August being filled to the brim with events in Glencoe, Winnetka, Northbrook and the surrounding areas!

Be sure to mark the following on your calendar this month:
