Chicagoans know how to stretch out summer, and this September the celebration heads to Bridgeview for Summer’s Last Dance. The one-day festival lands on Saturday, September 20, 2025, transforming the Summer’s Last Dance Festival Grounds into a day-to-night showcase of music, food, and community. Gates open at 11 a.m., with performances running until 11 p.m.

The Chicago Bears are moving forward with plans to build a state-of-the-art stadium in Arlington Heights, a project set to reshape the team’s future and potentially bring the Super Bowl to Illinois as early as 2031.
