Greetings Launa, Given the variability of weather and other environmental factors, Chicago fall colors typically begin in late September and peak by mid October.

Any predictions about peak fall foliage for this year? We are planning a trip! Thanks, Bert

Greetings Bert: Too early to make any predictions regarding fall color as we have an entire growing season still ahead of us. Try contacting me later this summer!
