July Chicago Vacation

Factual Questions
1

I am looking at bringing my boys back to Chicago this summer for our vacation but finding available hotels a little scarce, and I am not just talking about Downtown, last time we stayed in Itasca and even out that far they are scarce. The dates I am looking at are roughly July 6th thru July 15th. Is there a major event going on at that time in the area?

Thanks,

There are lots of festivals and events all summer long in Chicago. Here’s a brief (and incomplete) list:

Have you tried hotels.com, Kayak.com, Orbitz, and the like? Good luck!
