As we welcome February, we find many community organizations are set to kick off Black History Month around Champaign-Urbana

Families can choose from myriad events and activities this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

It is a new month and February brings the beginning of Black History Month. All month long, you will find events happening around the community that are open to all. Be sure to check our calendar and the article linked below for the latest updates.

This weekend brings the conclusion of Restaurant Week (more info below), and we’ve put together our take on what we can’t wait to try during Restaurant Week. There are so many awesome options to try this year (and many new places on the list, too).
