Looking for the best things to do in Chicago this Labor Day weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.
Labor Day weekend in Chicago is a last, sweet taste of summer. And Labor Day Weekend 2023 is no exception. There are many things to do this weekend in Chicago, like listen to music in Hyde Park, Highwood, or at Navy Pier, or burn off the calories from the Labor Day barbecue in Elmhurst by biking the drive . This may be a good weekend to blow the kids’ bedtime for a last late-night hurrah, like the final summer fireworks show on the lake, or head out to a more distant suburb for a variety of end-of-summer, start-of-fall celebrations in Naperville, Buffalo Grove, Melrose Park, and Schaumburg.
It may be a hot weekend, so keep our heat wave guide handy! Or get in one last trip to Starved Rock before a long stretch of five-day weeks. Then get ready for fall: Apple picking season is already underway at orchards around Chicago, and our event calendar is filling up with fall fun. Have a great holiday weekend!
