September's Renegade Craft Fair
If you are looking for things to do on your weekends this SEPTEMBER in Chicago, here is the Festival List for Chicagoland. There are a lot of free festivals still going on into the fall in the city. It is your last chance to get outside and enjoy the weather before we get into the cold of fall. Don’t miss Oktoberfest, Gourmet Fest in Grant Park and the Latin Music Festival. I also recommend the Renegade Craft Fair for finding unique clothing, accessories, home decor and artwork made by local Chicago & MidWestern Artists.
