The time to start looking for Halloween-themed event spaces in Chicago is from August to October. Many businesses will start advertising Halloween events and prepare by converting conference rooms, yoga studios, classrooms,
lofts, and other flexible spaces. Spider webs and bats go up, people get dressed up in costumes, and Halloween is here, even in September.
If you are a true Halloween enthusiast then you don't need to wait until October to enjoy your favorite season. The Midwest Haunters Convention takes place in June and is the largest Halloween convention in the country. People come from all over to show off their detailed makeup and advanced costumes. Located in Rosemont, IL, the convention is all about fun, holiday spirit, and photography opportunities.
Haunted houses are a fall delight and one of the finest is HellsGate Haunted House, in Lockport, IL. Its haunted history stretches back to the 1800's and the grounds are available for public tours and private parties.
