1. Lollapalooza (Chicago, IL)


This year Lollapalooza takes place on August 2-5, 2018 at Grant Park in downtown Chicago. It's the perfect mix of being in a beautiful city and experiencing concerts of a lifetime! There are so many great artists this year and so much fun to be had in four days at this amazing festival!

Moving to the east coast now in Dover, Delaware there is the Firefly Festival. Starting off with Eminem as the number one headlining artist following Kendrick Lamar, Arctic Monkeys, and the Killers, Firefly has a very strong lineup! If you live on the east coast tickets are free June 14-17th, you should definitely give this festival a try!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
