Nightmare On Chicago Street is Elgin's premiere Halloween event that boasts beer, bands, and plenty of ghoulish entertainment.
The City of Elgin is gearing up for another unforgettable Nightmare On Chicago Street! Presented by the Zombie Defense Initiative, this year's event promises an experience like no other. Prepare for an evening of pulse-pounding excitement with electrifying performances, immersive environments, apocalyptic-themed drinks, delectable food options, and a soundtrack that will keep your heart racing.
Citizens will once again unite in the Safe Zone. While some parts of the city may appear abandoned and overrun with chaos—boarded-up businesses, reclaimed vegetation, scattered trash, and remnants of a post-apocalyptic world—fear not. Your safety remains our top priority. Essential businesses will be open, providing food, beverages, shelter, and essential supplies.
Don't miss out on this year's Nightmare On Chicago Street—mark your calendars and get ready for an evening of spine-chilling fun and unforgettable memories.
