Must-knows 🧐 

Kick off spooky season in Chicago on a ghost tour that floats.

It's a 120 minute guided ghost tour on a pontoon boat,

You get to see such beautiful views of Chicago,

or the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that wiped out nearly the whole city,

your heartwarming holiday story you'd expect.

The guides keep you hooked with haunting details and eerie visuals.

And an October night in Chicago already looks straight out of a ghost story.

This experience is BYOB so you can pack whatever you want for the ride.

I highly recommend bringing something pumpkin spiced.

The river even got a little wild on the way back,

which I'm pretty sure it was a ghost that was rocking the boat.

I just went to one of the most magical concerts I've

been to in Chicago and I need to put you on.

This was a Taylor Swift tribute concert hosted by Candlelight.

string quartet surrounded by hundreds of candles.

This one was at Stan Mansion in Logan Square,

but paired with the candlelight and the live music.

and then fully romanticize your life for the next hour.

they had a lot of different songs and medleys from different eras,

so you really got to experience her full repertoire.

The way the seating works is they break you

out into different zones based on your ticket price.

I recommend getting the cheapest zone you can

and then getting to the place really early.

So that you can get the best seats in that zone.

One of the coolest parts about these concerts

is that they rotate different artists in different genres

and different venues all around the city,

so there's always something new to check out.

Whether you're a huge fan of featured artists,

do something that feels extra special and different,
