Hygge Festival begins Saturday, February 3 in Cook County and runs until February 14.

The Hygge Festival is named after a Danish concept that refers to the ritual of embracing life’s simple pleasures.

Visit Cook County Executive Director Linda Jurek explained some of what’s on offer.

“You could do a fireplace tour and go visit 20 different locations in Cook County that have just amazing fireplaces. Some of those are in eating establishments, so you could have a little bite to eat while you’re there or something to drink,” said Jurek. “Then this year, we have a sauna tour that’s also included. So, we have three places that are open at specific times for sauna tours.”
