You may have reached your limit with spending this month so here are some free or cheap things to do in Chicago this week.
The Art on theMART is the largest digital art display in the world, and it's right here in Chicago. The program includes The Nutcracker by The Joffrey Ballet and more.
The 30-minute show starts at 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The best place to watch is on the Chicago Riverwalk or Wacker Drive between Wells Street and Franklin Street.

3. Ice skating at Maggie Daley Park
Maggie Daley Park skating ribbon swerves through the park. Skaters have plenty of space to social distance while skating. Admission is $5 with your own skates, and skate rentals are available starting at $16.
