UPTOWN — If Chicago didn't get enough of Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky at Lollapalooza, here's your chance: the duo will be invading the 'hood this weekend along with a host of other performers and events.

Here's a list of things happening around Uptown and Andersonville this weekend:

Friday

Walk With Weiss: Weiss Memorial Hospital invites their neighbors in Uptown to participate in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk Friday morning.

Proceeds from the walk go towards heart disease research and education. 11 a.m. 4700 N. Marine Dr.

Saturday

Watch a New Carey Mulligan at the Library: Meet at the Bezazian Branch of the Chicago Public Library for a 2015 flick starring Carey Mulligan, Michael Sheen and Matthias Schoenaerts.

Free. 2 p.m. 1226 W. Ainslie St.

Join the Circus In Margate Park: Midnight Circus will be hanging in Uptown this weekend for the Circus in the Park Series.

Shows from 2-3:30 p.m. and 5-6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 4921 N. Marine Dr.

Go Halloween Shopping: It's never too early to find the perfect costume, right? Well, Chicago Costumes promised their pop-up shop would be open by Saturday with "really great prices." 4704 N. Broadway.
