Last update: 7 hours ago

Utica Festival: Nearly 400 vendors filled the streets for the 56th annual Burgoo Festival, a LaSalle County tradition whose proceeds help fund the historical society’s museum campus along the I&M Canal. Chicago Visitors: Chicago Marathon weekend drew crowds for charity, culture and running, even as workers at six hotels went on strike—potentially complicating stays for visitors. Tourism Investment: Illinois is putting more than $553,000 toward tourism in the Joliet area. Airport Access: A $192 million MetroLink extension to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport is complete, adding a transit connection for travelers in the Metro East. City Appeal: Condé Nast Traveler again named Chicago the best big city in the U.S. for 2026.
