After 16 years, over 500,000 hosted in 12 cities - we are excited to welcome you to our community for another great Halloween event!
About this Event🎃 Three nights. Ten neighborhoods. Over 50 venues. One pass.
Chicago, we are turning Halloween into a three night festival.
Think of it like a festival. The neighborhoods are your stages, the bars are the lineup, and instead of 1, you get 3 nights. Gold Coast, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, River North, Bucktown, Logan Square, Loop, West Loop, West Town and Wicker Park all run at once, and you build your own route through them. Come out for 1 night, 2, or all 3.
THE NIGHTS
- Thursday, October 29 6PM to 2AM · check in 6PM to 10PM
- Friday, October 30 6PM to 2AM · check in 6PM to 10PM
- Saturday, October 31 8PM to 2AM · early check in 8PM to 9PM, general 8PM to 10PM
