THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO — Celebrating the Festival for the Dead – Halloween!
Did you know that Halloween is said to be more Irish than St. Patrick’s Day? Its origins come from an ancient Celtic festival for the dead called “Samhain.” The Celts believed the ghosts of the dead roamed Earth on this holiday, so people would dress in costumes and leave “treats” out on their front doors to appease the roaming spirits. Well, here in Chicago, we’ll be appeasing those roaming spirits ourselves this weekend!
