Go Skating, Watch Boxing This Weekend In Skokie

Also, join the crowds at Old Orchard for the restaurants and after-Christmas bargains.



  • Watch boxing, complete with pizza and beer, at the Village Inn Pizzeria & Grill Saturday--it's the UFC 168, with a middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva. 
  • Go ice skating at the Skokie Skatium at Weber Park on Church Street, just west of Skokie Boulevard. 10:45 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday, and noon and 7 p.m. Saturday.  Sunday hours here. 
  • Let's not ignore a top activity in Skokie this weekend--returning gifts, finding bargains and eating with friends and relatives at Westfield Old Orchard Mall. 
  • Catch some comedy improv, for which Chicago is famous, onstage at Gorilla Tango Theater in Skokie, 7900 block of Lincoln Avenue, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Comedy Sportz is the featured troupe.
