What's the best time to visit Illinois?

I’ve never been to the Midwest before and I really want to visit Chicago, so I thought I’d start with Illinois. When’s the best time to visit Illinois?

Chicago and the rest of
Illinois
are absolutely amazing, both in terms of culture and scenery. The best time to visit Illinois is in the spring or fall, as the temperatures are milder and you can get outdoors to explore.
If you’re trying to think of a few things to do while you’re visiting Illinois, add a few of these to your list:
  • Go to Maifest in Chicago to grab some food and hear live music.
  • Check out some local and regional artists at the critically acclaimed Art on the Square in Belleville in May.
  • Go to an October ballgame at Wrigley Field for an unforgettable baseball experience.
  • Check out the Chicago Beer Fest in October.
  • Take a tour of Illinois wine country on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail.
If you’re going to drive around Illinois, many areas of the state are rural, so adding
towing and labor coverage
is probably a smart idea. See which companies offer this coverage and then use the
