What better way to celebrate fall than at one of the coolest fall festivals in Illinois?  It's not every day you can say you went on a hayride on the Chicago River!

Chicago always has a pop-up event happening around the city.  From themed haunted houses, to giant pumpkin patches, to adult-only pop-up events, I bet you've never experienced a fall festival like this one.

Put on your favorite sweaters, bundle up, and head over to Island Party Hut's Fall Fest on the Riverwalk.  You can enjoy live music, apple cider donuts, fall cocktails and beer, a pumpkin patch, photo ops, and did I mention... a HAYRIDE ON THE CHICAGO RIVER?!

Illinois' Coolest Fall Festival Offering Hayrides On Chicago River

Tickets start at just $5 starting every Saturday through October 28th.  It's more than pumpkin spice lattes, it's a party down by the river!

"Whether you're looking to get a group of friends together to enjoy some much needed adult beverages or bring the kids out for a stress-free day of fun, this is the perfect destination. This outdoor experience is a safe and fun way to catch up with friends and make new ones, all along the beautiful Chicago Riverwalk!"

TICKETS INCLUDE: Admission, live music from 1-4pm & 5-8pm, access to hayrides on the river, pumpkin patch, fall cocktails, beer, apple cider donuts, photo ops, games & more!

Pretty good deal, in my opinion.  Most festivals around are pretty pricey.
