Free this Sunday?

Living in Chicago does have it’s perks! Especially if you are a LUC student and finished all your homework on Friday and Saturday, this event at Navy Pier is something to consider attending THIS Sunday! This is a FREE event and there’s plenty of activities and entertainment to see and do!

For people who are new to Chicago, Navy Pier is one of the most iconic places the city has to offer! As the name implies, this place is right on the waters of Lake Michigan and features breathtaking views of the city skyline. It is not far away from Millennium Park, the Magnificent Mile, or any of the other famous destinations. At Nay Pier, there are tons of activities to do, including ride the huge (and newly renovated) Ferris Wheel, Swing Carousel, fantastic restaurants, the Shakespeare theater, Children’s Museum, and so much more!

I believe that it is wonderful that Asian culture appreciation is slowly increasing nowadays. Even at Loyola, I try to bring Vietnamese culture into community through the means of meetings, food, and events. So for Navy Pier (Chicago) to have a FREE city-wide Asian event, I am hyped up for it! I am proud that our city is bringing more awareness and appreciation to Asian culture. It comes to show how much of a ‘melting pot’ this city is.

I’m sure most of you are not familiar with Indonesian culture; I know I’m not. It would be eye-opening to all of us to travel halfway across the world to catch a glimpse of something we are not familiar with and enjoy the experience. That alone makes all of us a little bit more knowledgeable, more adventurous, and open to new things–which completely a good thing! At this event, A Vibrant Indonesia, there will be an array of things, including an exhibition, trade and tourism forum, fashion show, food demo, and traditional music and dances! Isn’t that fun? After you attend this event, there’s tons of other activities to do on the pier, as stated in the previous paragraph. To sum it up, your Sunday agenda would be so good and fun.

For the chances that you might not be able to make it to this event, do not be discouraged! Navy Pier has so many other free events for you! Especially with the Halloween season coming up, there’s a lot of exciting things available. Info on those things can be found in this link:
