On June 15th, Chicago officially entered Phase 3 to cautiously reopen the city. And life has started to return to normal \u2014 <\/span>restaurants<\/span><\/a> are allowed to serve diners on their patios, parks and public spaces<\/a> have slowly started to reopen, and some non-essential businesses have welcomed back shoppers<\/a>. However, city officials made the tough decision to cancel all permitted special events through Labor Day which includes several of Chicago\u2019s festivals<\/a> and other yearly traditions. In an effort to still give Chicagoans the summer they deserve, many events are going digital. Here\u2019s a roundup of Chicago’s best events that have moved online this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
