Chicago Park District's Halloween Happenings

It's Going to be a Scary Good Time!

By Macaroni October 25, 2018

Our first Halloween in Chicago our friends back in Florida kept asking: 

  • Where will you trick or treat in the city?

At first, I had the same question and was worried that our city Halloween wouldn't live up to the suburban trick-or-treat full of block parties, groups of friends and decorated homes.  Then I experienced my first Chicago Halloween and I was blown away!  It's a full season of pumpkin patches, harvest fests, concerts, parties and trick-or-treats.  Chicago Park District plays a huge part in the Halloween fun and here is a round up of upcoming fun for the whole family.  As always, please be sure to check their website for updated information regarding each event!
