Time Out Chicago's Marissa Conrad has tons of different things for you to do to make the very most of the weekend. Get out there and do them!
On Friday The Goat Party, an art- and music-filled party will raise funds for Bucktown Arts Fest (Aug 25-26), a not-for-profit neighborhood celebration of the arts that is entering its 27th year. At The Goat Party, Collaboration Theatre performs while you enjoy food from local restaurants and drink wine and beer from Lulu B and Milwaukee Brewing Company. Live and silent auctions feature items from more than 50 local businesses. The Jackson Junge Gallery (1389 N Milwaukee Ave, bucktownartsfest.com). 6pm–11pm; $50 at the door.
You can also enjoy the granddaddy of used book sales on Friday and Saturday at the Newberry Library Book Fair. They will feature120,000 reads organized in 70 categories, including paperbacks, cookbooks and art tomes. BYO shopping bags and ready a fresh $20 bill—that's about all the cash you'll need to fill a couple of sacks with books. Newberry Library, 60 W Walton St (312-255-3556, newberry.org). 10am–6pm; free.
Saturday or Sunday check out the Wicker Park Fest where the Crotch will host a hipster-friendly fest that features three stages of tunes on the cheap. Milwaukee Ave between North Ave and Paulina St (773-384-2672, wickerparkfest.com). Noon–10pm; $5.
Finally hit the newest rooftop bar on a warm summer night and you'll find a long line of frustrated partiers ready to stab your eye out with their stilettos. Fortunately Estate Ultra Bar's new StarDeck opens at 11:30am—way before the night crowd descends—so you can spend a lazy, hassle-free afternoon sipping Champagne (Sunday's special) and taking in the river view. 1177 N Elston St (312-582-4777, estateultrabar.com). 11:30am–2am.
