Chicago in July: A Symphony of Sun, Sounds, and Smoky Barbecue

Average temperature low and high: 70°- 82°
July in Chicago sees the sun doing overtime, making the city the ultimate magnet for sun-chasers and fun-seekers. Not to be outdone, the African/Caribbean International Festival of Life adds a pinch of pizzazz, churning out reggae beats faster than you can say 'jerk chicken'​. Simultaneously, the Windy City Smokeout is busy upstaging every BBQ you've ever attended with a country music soundtrack. And as the day wanes, rooftop bars bloom, serving up views and brews.
