10 Great Things This Month
10 Great Things This Month
Up All Night
New York may be known as the city that never sleeps but Chicago is no early-to-bed contender, either. Whether it’s dancing all night at one of our seen and be seen clubs, catching a late night comedy showcase or getting grub, here’s how we burn the midnight oil.
Holiday Warm-Up
The holiday season is officially here! Once Thanksgiving rolls around, it’s all systems go for tree lighting ceremonies, holiday markets and other festive delights opening this month.
Tricks & Treats
Get ready for 31 nights of frights! Whether you’re looking for G-rated family fun or a real thrill that will have you keeping one eye open at night, there are plenty of ways to have a spooktacular time in Chicago in October as the city spares no stops for Halloween.
Real Haunted Houses
Built on ancient Indian burial grounds and with numerous bodies of water (thought to be conduits), Chicago is an incredibly haunted city. Here are some of the most notorious spots. Want more? Take a tour of all the infamous spooky places with Chicago Hauntings Ghost Tours. www. chicagohauntings.com
Putting Out The Welcome Mat
The free event known as Open House Chicago is the one weekend every year (Oct. 19-20) that nearly 250 buildings across the city open their doors to the public with exclusive access to normally roped-off landmarks and behind-the-scenes looks at some of the most marvelous architectural gems, from north to south sides.
It's Showtime!
The Chicago International Film Festival returns October 16-27 in its 55th year of presenting exclusive screenings of world premieres, anticipated previews and selections from local filmmakers. Look out for these titles.
Dinner & A Show
Chicago’s theater scene springs to life with bold new productions, including “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Here’s what to see and nearby spots to grab a bite before show time.
