Find Your Next Vacation Destination on Chicago Tribune's World Calendar and Stay at a Vacation Rental
December 28, 2006. The Chicago Tribune's feature, "A World of Events For 2007," gave us some great vacation ideas. The list includes everything from rural festivals to international sporting events. Here are some of our favorites:
April 20-29: Fiesta San Antonio (San Antonio, Texas). The Riverwalk in San Antonio is always lively, but we imagine the parades, pageants and parties during Fiesta time will make this one of your most fun vacations ever. The Riverwalk is a pedestrian district of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues that edge right up to the river.
May 25-June 10: Spoleto Festival USA (Charleston, S.C.). Take a great town like Charleston, full of amazing historic architecture. Add 120 performances, from " Swan Lake" to "The Constant Wife." Season with a wide variety of restaurants, including some of the best seafood joints in the country. You've got one busy week.
June 27-July 8: Smithsonian Folklife Festival (Washington, D.C.) . History buffs will find heaven with reenactments of the founding of Jamestown on the National Mall and a cornucopia of great museums, including the legendary Smithsonians.
