What to do on Labor Day Weekend in Chicago


Looking for something fun to do on Labor Day weekend in Chicago? Celebrate the closing of summer by attending one of these fun events!

What to do in Chicago on Labor Day weekend 2014:

Remix Chicago


Head over to Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood for Remix Chicago, a large labor weekend art festival. Remix Chicago is a two-day recycled art festival that turns trash into treasure by reworking landfill items into art displays. The festival also boasts a live music lineup, local food vendors, and artistic workshops. This event is free!

Midnight Circus in the Park


What better way to celebrate the end of summer than an iconic circus performance? The show will be held at Grand Crossing Park on both Saturday and Sunday this Labor Day weekend. Midnight Circus performances will dazzle you with dancers, jugglers, acrobats and more. General admission is $5. Children 2 year old and under are free.

Labor Day Fireworks


Starting at 10:15pm at Navy Pier on Labor Day, catch one of the last Chicago fireworks displays of the summer. Although this event is free, you will want to get there early to sort out parking and find a great place to view the fireworks.

African Festival of the Arts


A Labor Day weekend favorite in Chicago, the African Festival will take place at Washington Park Friday through Monday this year. Come out to this free event and experience African arts, crafts, drummers, ethnic food, cultural dancers, and music from local African groups.

Chicago Jazz Festival



Relaxing in the park enjoying live music more your thing? Head over to Millennium Park and the Chicago Cultural center this weekend for the 35th Annual Chicago Jazz Festival. Bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket and enjoy a tasty lunch outdoors to the sounds of music from a past era. Admission to this event is free.
