If weather is poor, then the Art and Halloween Festival will relocate to the Fine Arts Building (410 S. Michigan).
Millennium Park and Maggie Daley Park will also offer free performances all day as well as activities ranging from ghost stories to face painting.
Regardless of whether it rains or shines, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., spectacularly costumed individuals, including the Thriller Dance Group, will be accompanied by floats, music, and mood lighting as they parade north on Columbus from Balbo to Monroe.
If you find yourself intrigued by a theatrical thrill, Never the Sinner, which peeks into the complicated relationship between two partners in crime, will be playing at Victor Gardens Theater on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. with a reception beginning at 6 p.m.
On Oct. 24, 25, 30, and 31, an annual favorite, Halloween at Navy Pier, will be presenting attractions like free scary movies, live entertainment, and characters inspired by the “Addams Family” to help you relish this spooky season.
Regardless of how you choose to spend your last two weekends before October ends, be sure to enjoy your last dreadful days instead of remaining like a couch zombie.
