Last updated October 6, 2025: We may be in the midst of an alarmingly summery spooky season, but Chicago's event calendar has more to offer than tricks and treats. If you’re looking to embrace the month’s Halloween themes, there’s no shortage of events for you: Jack’s Pumpkin Pop-Up is haunting Goose Island once again, Lincoln Park Zoo is hosting Fall Fest all month long and Island Party Hut's Fall Fest will dominate the Chicago Riverwalk this week. If you’re saving all your stamina for the weekend, spend the week prepping your wittiest Chicago Marathon sign to cheer on this year’s runners or kick back at Music Box Theatre’s annual horror movie marathon.
