After a week of sunshine and higher temperatures, we might be heading into some cloudy weather and rain this weekend. But don’t worry — there are still plenty of things to do across the city.

Music writer Leor Galil joins the Morning Shift to share his recommendations on concerts, events and eateries across Chicago.

What to see

Chicago Zine Fest - Join more than 250 self-publishers that buy and trade zines and comics at the 10th annual Chicago Zine Fest. The festival kicks off Thursday and ends Saturday. All events are free and open to the public.

Chicago Dogs - Cheer on one the newest members of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball at their opening weekend in Rosemont. The season opener is sold out, but there’s plenty more games to enjoy this weekend. And yes, they’re named after Chicago’s favorite and oldest culinary tradition.
