The best shopping trips are the unhurried ones. Start at South Moon Under for something breezy. Drift over to Loft and Kohl’s for the everyday staples. Let the storefronts catch your eye and stroll inside.

At Rio, dining is a reason to stay a little longer. Grab a patio table at Yard House, Guapo’s or Copper Canyon Grill. Stroll the lakefront, then circle back for something sweet at Fantasticks or Tous Les Jours.

Get lost in the rhythm at Rio, whether it’s live music during Lakefront Live, an energizing zumba class, or stumbling upon musicians playing as part of the Rio buskers program. From paddle boats to the carousel, our summer calendar is chock full of reasons to visit again and again.
