We've rounded up the best chefs in the city to join us at Time Out Market Chicago, a culinary and cultural destination in the heart of Fulton Market featuring more than 15 kitchens, three bars, one drop-dead gorgeous rooftop terrace and a host of events—all spread across three floors.
The weather may feel like summer, but the events calendar in Chicago is celebrating all things autumnal and Halloween-themed. If you’re ready to embrace spooky season, look no further than Music Box Theatre’s monthlong horror movie marathon “Music Box of Horrors: Dead and Loving It!” or Island Party Hut’s Fall Fest on The Riverwalk. For the booze enthusiasts, there’s no shortage of bevvy-themed events this week: Chicago Beer Festival, Lincoln Park Wine Fest and more are on the docket. If you’re looking for a more low-key weekend, catch an artist talk at the Chicago Humanities Festival, pet some pooches at Chicago Canine Rescue Barktoberfest or catch up-and-coming artists at Avondalia Art Show: In Chorus & Cohesion.
