Chicago has a ton of awesome events going on this month! The Chicago Culture Festival has been on my calendar ever since I read about it on the Chicago magazine website, and I can’t wait for it.

In conjunction with its October 2015 Fall Culture Guide issue, Chicago magazine will debut the inaugural Culture Festival at the end of this month. It’s going to be a five-program event that incorporates intimate performances, on-stage interviews, and audience interaction with top creative artists in Chicago and beyond. The festival will be held on Saturday, September 26, at Venue SIX10 (610 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago). Each ticketed event will bring 400 attendees together with notable and breakout stars via five unique programs revolving around architecture, literature, theater, comedy, and music.

If you know me, you know that I am a bookworm… so I am SO excited for the literature program featuring one of my favorite authors, Gillian Flynn. Even if you haven’t read her books, I’m sure you’ve now seen the movie-version of ‘Gone Girl’, so you know she’s amazing. It’s just going to be an exciting day celebrating all things culture!
