Things to do in Chicago this weekend: Apple Fest, Ministry and more

Carrie's picks:

🎭 I may be the only Chicagoan who has never taken an improv class, but that can all change this weekend! Second City is offering a 90-minute improv workshop at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk's hidden speakeasy, plus cocktails and small bites. | Ma Streeter (Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk) | $59| Friday, 7pm |

🕺🏻 Dancing is all about finding the right groove, spot and crew. Moving to '80s New Wave is the speed I'm looking for these days. DJ Jeff Moyer spins Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division, and more. | Beat Kitchen | $13 | Saturday, 9pm

⚽ Yes, at least one Chicago baseball team is still in it, and football has arrived, but let's not forget about our other stars — The Chicago Stars! The NWSL team hosts Denver Summit FC at Martin Stadium in Evanston. | $18+ | Sunday, 3pm

Justin's picks

🍎 It may not be suburban apple picking, but I'm going to enjoy the fall harvest at the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Apple Fest. Expect fresh apples, cider, seasonal beers, apple-inspired eats and live music at one of Chicago's best autumn street festivals. | Lincoln Ave. from Lawrence to Sunnyside | $5 suggested donation | Friday, 3-7pm, Sunday and Sunday, 9am-6pm

🌎 The World Music Festival comes to a close this weekend. I've always had a great time at this festival because beyond the global music, it's a wonderful reminder that no matter where we're from, we're connected. Check out the Global Peace Party. | Humboldt Park Boathouse | Free | Sunday, noon-5pm

🤘 I'm really into 1990s Chicago music right now, and that includes the legendary band Ministry. They're Chicago industrial-metal royalty. I saw them at Lollapalooza at Alpine Valley back in 1992 and was hooked. | Salt Shed Fairgrounds | Ticket prices vary | Saturday, doors open at 5pm
