This weekend in Champaign-Urbana it’s all about fairs, festivals, free summer movies, and outdoor concerts galore! This weekend looks to be a balmy one in Champaign-Urbana, and we have a list of area pools to cool off in, and also swim lessons for your little ones. Staying indoors more your thing? See our post on air conditioned adventures that are family approved. Campus is quiet, and it’s the perfect weekend to explore The University of Illinois with our 13 Picks for Family Fun. Friday, June 7 is also National Donut Day, and we have a list of Donut Day Freebies in Champaign-Urbana. Speaking of Donuts…it’s time to follow our new Donut Trail!
Planning for an epic Father’s Day next weekend? We have picks for that too. Including some Father’s Day Freebies around Champaign-Urbana and Beyond.
Don’t forget to save the date for our first FREE Summer Playdate! Join us on Tuesday, June 11, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve in Mahomet for a fun evening of exploration and outdoor play. Did someone say footgolf? Yes, please!
