October starts tomorrow and Chicago is leaning into spooky season. Whether you like Halloween or not, the sun is setting earlier, which is scary enough. Luckily, we’re talking about everything to do, from haunted houses and parades to learning about Chicago’s architecture and Indigenous history. Plus, we’ve got tips for early voting, navigating United Center’s busy calendar, and restaurants we’re definitely hitting this month.
