... Okay, I'm sure that Chicago has more than one night of art and/or culture in a given year, but check it out: Looptopia is an annual festival of performance, dance, film, comedy, and general artsiness, taking place from dusk 'til dawn; sort of like Toronto's Nuit Blanche. Cirque du Soliel even swung by to perform with kite-flyers.
The festival took the normally business-minded Loop and turns it into a nocturnal playground, beginning at 5pm May 2nd, and wrapping up at 7am on May 3rd. Words will fail, so let's go straight to media.
