Several interesting cultural attractions can be found throughout the region, like the Yerkes Observatory, which after completion in 1897, served as the largest astronomical telescope in the world for several years. In addition, a vibrant downtown community plays host to weekly farmers markets, art galleries, trendy cafes, and popular events like the Venetian Festival — with its live music, fireworks show, craft fair, and carnival.
