If you can brave the thunderstorms, there’s plenty of happenings to fill the three-day holiday weekend. Here’s what we recommend:
Sat 5/28: Commemorating the one-year anniversary of the launch of their monthly stand-up showcase, South Asian comedy collective Simmer Brown presents Simmer Brown Turns One at the Bughouse Theater (1910 W. Irving Park). 8 PM
Mon 5/30: Celebrating Civil War General John A. Logan’s pledge of remembrance on the first Memorial Day in 1868, and commemorating the 1996 rededication of the monument to him in Grant Park (Columbus and Jackson), the Chicago Cultural Mile Association hosts the annual ceremony and dedication of the Logan Monument. 11 AM
