Halloween marks the beginning of the holidays. Many people look forward to this day every year because it gives them an opportunity to dress up as their favorite character and walk around the city with their friends. Sometimes a busy life can prevent you from planning ahead. In case this is you and you’re looking for fun things to do on halloween weekend in Chicago, here are some great ideas to consider.
Halloween Bar Hopping
One idea that never seems to get old is a classic bar hopping night. What’s cool about bar hopping is that you can try out many different bars and see many new faces (and costumes) along the way. If you want to save yourself the stress of planning a route, you can join one of the many planned events in the city. Some that you might want to look into include River North Halloween Bar Crawl and Trick or Drink: Chicago Halloween Bar Crawl since they tour around the Loop area! Check out their websites for more information.
Haunted Houses
Making your way through a frightening maze really cements the eerie holiday spirit. If you enjoy jump scares and quick adrenaline rushes you may want to visit a Haunted House. We’ve gathered a small list of open haunted houses to save you the time of looking. Check out 13th Floor, Disturbia, and Midnight Terror. They’re a little dispersed around the city but definitely worth it if you’re into that. If not, we have something less daunting for you!
Halloween Boat Cruise
The Titanic Masquerade Yacht Tour along Lake Michigan is perfect for those that want to celebrate the night in a chic and elegant way. The boat tour features 4 decks and 2 DJs on a 3 hour cruise. There are also other similar cruises including the Halloween Boo Cruise, Henny Halloween Party, and Halloween BOOze Cruise. Each one has a different theme so make sure to check them out to see which one appeals to you more.
Private Costume Party
Don’t like the thought of leaving the house? Invite your friends over for a small get together in the privacy of your home. Plan a costume karaoke night and decorate your home to fit the spirit. Don’t forget to play your favorite halloween movie in the background as you guys enjoy the night. The important thing is to spend time with friends and have fun!
Feel free to take one of these ideas and make it your own! We hope you enjoy your Halloween weekend and stay safe!
