We're headed back to school but there are still plenty of fun things to do in Chicago with kids in September. The last of the summer street festivals are wrapping up on Labor Day weekend, so check out Taste of Polonia or Naperville's Last Fling. Or embrace the feeling of fall with Printers Row Lit Fest, Septemberfest in Bloomingdale, or Oktoberfest in Lakeview.
Athletic families might enjoy a chance to Bike the Drive at the annual event that shuts down DuSable Lake Shore Drive, and nostalgia-loving families may enjoy the Throwback Music Fest or a Soap Box Derby in Naperville.
