The tour starts off at the beloved Garrett's popcorn. Guests will receive a treat bag of "Garrett's Mix" before taking a spooky stroll through downtown Chicago narrated by one of the expert guides. Chicago has a very storied past and is known to be one of the most Haunted cities in America. The fact that Lincoln Park and much of the land along the lakefront sits on a graveyard with bodies still being discovered to this day may explain some of the hauntings. Or maybe it has more to do with Chicago's love affair with gangsters, guns, crime and murder. For October and November only, there are additional days and times available (see full event listing for details). [less-]

It only took a few short but extremely exciting years for Selena to earn her nickname: "The Mexican Madonna." Bringing a sexy, pop vibe to her performances, she catapulted what had once been a niche genre of Latin music into the mainstream, winning a Grammy, shattering sales records and topping "Billboard" charts. Although the Queen of Tejano had her life and career cut tragically short in 1995 at the age of 23, her music and spirit lives on in "Celebrate Selena!" Building on the popularity of Selena's last "Live!" album, along with the recent unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, tribute band The Selena Experience will pay homage to the beloved pop star by performing all of her biggest hits at House of Blues Chicago.
