Korean Street Festival August 8-9

There is a korean festival going on this weekend, it's looks pretty good. There'll be food (of course) as well as music, a parade, and a variety of other events.
Here's a link with the schedule - LINK.

I'll probably be there on saturday around 3:00 to catch the opening parade and ceremony. I guess we can make a meeting place if others want to meet up here.

Sorry to be difficult, but my "organization" has blocked the link. Can you post where this will be? Thanks!

It's at Bryn Mawr & Kedzie. Festival hours are 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Saturday and 11:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Sunday.

Sparky and I may go on Sunday, since Dad's on shift (we're booked up Saturday) Sounds like fun!

There's also a FB page (not helpful for those of you at work, I know) It's sponsored by the Chicago Korean American Chamber of Commerce.

I must be a real cave man, because I thought a FB page was a list of the food and beverages available at the event. Imagine my surprise when the link turned out to be Facebook.

Anybody knows if they are still having the korean street festival this year? i haven't heard anything about it so far
