We've rounded up the best chefs in the city to join us at Time Out Market Chicago, a culinary and cultural destination in the heart of Fulton Market featuring more than 15 kitchens, three bars and one drop-dead gorgeous rooftop terrace—all spread across three floors.
September might be here, but don't despair—there are still plenty of things to do in Chicago—whether you're still embracing a summertime state of mind or welcoming fall with open arms! From Oktoberfest celebrations to outdoor music festivals (including Riot Fest), we've still got plenty of warm weather fun to take advantage of before the leaves start to turn and the temperature drops. Soak up the sun at the best Chicago beaches and rooftop bars, or spend your weekends checking out the end of festival season at events like the Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Printers Row Lit Fest and Taste of Chicago. And if you really can't wait for fall to arrive, might we suggest some early leaf peeping and apple picking? Whatever your mood, you'll find plenty of ways to keep busy with our roundup of the best things to do in Chicago this September.
