Overview
What to know
Chicago is a vibrant city that offers a lively atmosphere for a festival trip, with plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the local culture. In May, the weather is usually mild, with a mix of sunny and rainy days, so it's a good idea to pack layers and waterproof gear. To get to Chicago, many people fly into one of the city's two major airports or take the train into Union Station. Accommodation options range from budget-friendly to upscale, and food prices vary depending on the neighborhood and type of cuisine. Local transportation is relatively easy to navigate, with a comprehensive public transit system. For dancers planning to attend the Great Lakes Shag Escape, it's a good idea to book accommodation and flights in advance to ensure availability, and to research the venue location to plan transportation and explore the surrounding area.
