August is a great time to sign up for one of the many events that HI Chicago has to offer. If getting seeing all Chicago has to offer is your goal, there are multiple walking tours, pub crawls, and even a weekly trip to one of Chicago’s famous jazz clubs. If you’d rather stay in, we offer a weekly DIY Chicago Hot Dog Tasting, Hostel Happy Hours, and many times have community dinners prepared by local students, youth groups, and more. No matter what you decide, there are plenty of opportunities to meet and mingle with fellow travelers!
