Hey, folks!
Every week of the year, there is something going on in Chicago.
Don't live here? Come here, and join the fun!
Here's a summary of this weekend's Chicago Happenings, courtesy of our Team Member, Sue Moss.
This Chicago mid-October weekend line-up has a little something for everyone whether you prefer to be outdoors or indoors. Take your pick -
Join the Heart of Chicago Festival as they celebrate Italian-American Heritage Month at 2400 S. Oakley Avenue in the Little Tuscany neighborhood. Besides the usual food, wine and live music, there will be a grape-stomping contest as well. I sure hope whoever stomps those grapes has clean feet and toe nails, if you know what I mean! Can you imagine a toe nail floating in your - oh, never mind. Click here for more information if this is your choice.
Perhaps you would prefer the Around the Coyote Fall Arts Festival held at the Around the Coyote Gallery at 1817 W. Division Street in the Wicker Park neighborhood. This annual event features over 100 emerging film, performance, video and visual artists from around the country including Chicago. A $50 VIP ticket also includes admission to the opening party on Friday evening and the closing party at Subterranean on Sunday evening. Click here for further details and other main locations.
In the mood for shopping? Well, we've got a new event in town organized by the Randolph Street Market Fest folks - Modern Vintage Chicago Fall Fashion and Jewels Explosion - 30 N. Racine Avenue in the West Loop neighborhood. Check out further details by clicking here.
Join in some pre-Halloween fun this Saturday at the 10th annual Pumpkins in the Park 5K Run and Walk in the Lincoln Park neighborhood at the South Fieldhouse (1800 N. Stockton Drive). Other festivities include a kids' costume parade, an adult costume contest, pumpkin decorating and much more. Click here for times, prices and more.
Hey ladies, still have some of those apples left from apple picking last month and don't know what to do with them? Well, you're in luck, because this Sunday is the 5th annual Bucktown Apple Pie Contest! Just head on over to the Holstein Park Fieldhouse (2200 N. Oakley Avenue) with your pie in tow and the $15 pie entry fee, or, just be a sampler for $3 per sample. Click here for more details.
GOT TALENT? If so, McCormick Place (2301 S. Lake Shore Drive) is the place to be this Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 a.m. for the ‘America's Got Talent' Casting Call! Who knows, you may be the Season 5 winner of the million dollar grand prize and a gig in Las Vegas. How cool would that be? Don't let this opportunity pass you by, click here now.
