Cooler, rainy Memorial Day weekend

  • Chicago kicks off Memorial Day weekend with a packed lineup of events, including the return of the Sueños music festival to Grant Park and the 41st annual Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest in Lakeview.
  • While festivals define the weekend, the city honors military service Saturday with a wreath-laying ceremony at Daley Plaza featuring Sergeant Major Janet Sandoval, followed by a parade along Dearborn Street.
  • Music fans can explore R&B and house performances at Union Park, while other events include a block printing workshop in Pilsen and jigsaw puzzle competitions at the Harold Washington Library.
  • Forecasts from the NBC 5 Storm Team suggest the weekend won't be a total washout, though residents should expect breezy conditions with speeds holding near 15mph through most of the day.
  • Temperatures are expected to hit the 80s throughout the upcoming week as Chicago moves toward the start of meteorological summer on June 1, with no signs of rainfall currently in the forecast.
