Chicago Events September 8-11 includes celebrating Route 66 – “The Mother Road” – which was established on November 11, 1926. If you look up you can see the BEGIN sign, just west of the Art Institute of Chicago on Adams. One of the original highways, Route 66 stretches 2,448 miles west to the Santa Monica Pier. This weekend Classic Car lovers will gather to share stories and enjoy talking about cars for the Route 66 Classic Car Show, and there’s a whole lot more going on this weekend! There’s Muskyfest in Lakeview, a celebration of Chicago’s very own Curtis Mayfield at Millennium Park; Misericordia’s back with their 40th Family Fest; Ravenswood Art Walk and the German American Oktoberfest are going on up north. There are plenty of Chicago Events this weekend, so get out and enjoy!
