The UltimateTV and our good friends at Universal Studios invite you and your friends to see the new romantic comedy BROS. starring Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane.

Synopsis:

Universal Pictures proudly presents the first romantic comedy from a major studio about two gay men maybe, possibly, probably, stumbling towards love. Maybe. They're both very busy.

From the ferocious comic mind of Billy Eichner and the hitmaking brilliance of filmmakers Nicholas Stoller comes Bros, a smart, swoony and heartfelt comedy about finding sex, love and romance amidst the madness.

FREE PASSES for the Advanced Screening of Bros 7:00p.m. on Tuesday, September 27th at   7:00P.M.,  Chicago's AMC River East 21 are available now at the following link:  http://gofobo.com/TUTVBros

Events include a range of social dances and live music held downtown and in neighborhoods across the city, special dance concerts in Millennium Park, and more. 

Don’t miss the free Chicago SummerDance Celebration on September 17, a full day of participatory and professional dancing throughout Millennium Park in honor of National Day of Dance.

The annual World Music Festival is your passport to musical acts from around the globe on Sept. 30 – Oct. 9, 2022.

This free, city-wide festival features over 30 artists from 22 countries at venues around Chicago including Millennium Park and the Navy Pier, bringing even more diversity to Chicago’s already rich performing arts scene.

This festival, which has been held in Chicago for more than 20 years, embraces well-known stars and emerging artists in genres that range from traditional to contemporary. You can hear everything at the World Music Festival — from Indian classical music to Bulgarian bagpipes and Congolese funk.

World Music Festival Lineup

This year’s schedule includes musical acts from a diverse array of global regions, performing at some of the city’s more unique venues. Here are a few highlights:

The UltimateTV and our friends at Chicago's Music Box Theater invite you to experience their Garden Movie Series.  

On Thursday, September 29th, come see the movie that launched  theatrical careers, 

Attack The Block starring John Boyega and Jodie Whittaker.

John Boyega (The Woman King, Star Wars) starring in his big-screen debut, Attack the Block is a fast, funny and terrifying alien invasion flick that turns a London housing project into a sci-fi battleground, the low-income apartment complex into a fortress under siege, and a crazy mix of tough street kids into a team of ass-kicking heroes. It’s inner city vs outer space and it’s going to explode.

For additional information on the Garden Series or to purchase tickets for Attack the Block, go to Attack the Block | Music Box Theatre

Chicago celebrates Halloween with its own unique style, with artistic evening spectacles, glowing pumpkin displays, thrilling parades, spooky tours of haunted places, Day of the Dead celebrations, and beyond. Check out the events we’re most excited about this year:

Arts in the Dark brings together artists from around the city for a surreal procession filled with spectacle, puppetry, legions of masked entities, luminous lanterns, and mesmerizing performances. World-renowned institutions, including the likes of the Art Institute of Chicago and Lookingglass Theatre Company, get involved each year.

Back by popular demand, Arts in the Dark will also host an “Upside Down Parade” in the Washington Park neighborhood. The reverse parade, which will feature 20+ local performers and visual artists, is an immersive experience that families can walk through a tree-lined stretch of Washington Park.

Looking for free fall fun? Fall Fest is back at historic Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the country’s oldest free zoos. Enjoy autumnal activities, like strolling through a pumpkin patch, sipping seasonal drinks, and watching live pumpkin carvers. There’s also face painting, animal chats, carousel rides, musical entertainment, a festive pop-up bar and grill, and so much more. 

The National Museum of Mexican Art’s exterior and the surrounding area will be hosting their annual Day of the Dead celebration in Pilsen. The nearby Harrison Park will be transforming into a festive community gathering place, where visitors will create and view ofrendas (Day of the Dead altars) just like those you would see in Mexico on Día de los Muertos. There will also be altar demonstrations, live musical performances, face painting, and art activities. You can also head inside the free museum to see their annual exhibit dedicated to Day of the Dead customs and traditions, Día de Muertos – A Time to Grieve & Remember.

Navy Pier is one of Chicago’s most family-friendly attraction, with rides, games, and boat cruises that will delight visitors of all ages. This October, the lakefront attraction will feature an experiential fall spectacle during Pier Pumpkin Lights. The whole family can marvel at pumpkin pop-up installations that come to life after dark.

The Northalsted Halloween Parade is ranked as one of the 10 Best Halloween Celebrations in the US by Fodor’s Travel Guide. At this annual event, an exuberant crowd lines the streets of Northalsted (also known as Boystown), one of the nation’s oldest LGBTQ+ communities, to check out fantastical outfits during an evening parade. A costume contest judged by a panel of drag queens and Halloween food and drink specials at restaurants and bars along North Halsted Street are a few of the parade highlights.

The Chicago Park District will be hosting special Halloween pop-up events in parks across Chicago’s many neighborhoods throughout the month of October.
