MAIN EVENT

Pier-fect family fun for Halloween

Navy Pier is always a hot spot for holidays, so of course the lakefront destination will be teeming with spooky spirit for Halloween at Navy Pier. Families can find nonfrightening fun, such as an “Addams Family” movie screening and costume contest Saturday and designated trick-or-treating locations throughout the pier Sunday and Monday — all for free. Being that it's Navy Pier, Saturday evening's celebration will also feature fireworks. The no-kid crowds won't be left out either — a haunted corn maze, haunted river tours and Halloween parties provide entertainment for adults. Don't forget your costume! Through Monday, visit website for various events and times, 600 E. Grand Ave.; visit website for ticketed events; www.navypier.com

CHICAGO MUSIC

Comeback Fiasco?

New Lupe Fiasco music has been hard to come by this decade, let alone new Fiasco music that isn't simply a reluctant fulfillment of his record contract. But as the Chicago rapper allegedly approaches the end of his long-adversarial deal with Atlantic Records, his creativity and wide-eyed perspective seem to have returned: his 2015 album “Tetsuo and Youth” featured some of Fiasco's most compelling music in years. This year, Fiasco has said legal red tape is preventing him from dropping a purported trilogy of albums, but he's still on tour this fall, stopping by his hometown to show off a rejuvenated spirit and self. 5:30 p.m. Sunday, 329 N. Dearborn St.; $39.50-$44.50;www.ticketmaster.com
