This Mother’s Day weekend, Chicago’s loop will be home to America’s first all-night festival. Host Edward Lifson introduces us to the mind behind Looptopia, Ty Tabing. He’ll reveal the European inspiration for the festival, and give a preview of the dozens of events set to land in the Loop that night.

Plus, Jennifer Brandel joins two participants in scouting the location for this year’s Guerilla Flotilla. She brings us their story from the middle of the Chicago river.
