Fall Fest

September 15, 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Fall Fest, Des Plaines’ favorite family-friendly festival, is back for the fifteenth year, with food, music, fun, games, and dozens of activities. Lake Park, at 2200 Lee Street, will once again be transformed into a lakefront wonderland where kids of all ages can ride the giant Ferris wheel and climb the rock wall, experience the carnival rides or take it easy in the petting zoo, chow down on corn dogs and feast on funnel cakes, and enjoy a variety of family entertainers as well as great local and national touring bands.

The popular event, which was created for the community by the Des Plaines Park District, the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce and the Des Plaines History Center, takes place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 13–15, with free admission, free parking, and free concerts every day. Fall Fest is once again generously sponsored by Presenting Sponsor Rivers Casino and Community Sponsor Advocate Lutheran General Hospital.

Fall Fest features a full carnival with dozens of rides and games, and all your favorite carnival eats. The KidZone is where you’ll find the rock-climbing wall, the petting zoo, lots of great kids & family entertainment, face painting, and interactive activities that are perfect for parents & tots. At the Des Plaines History Center Exhibit Tent, you can make a traditional corn husk doll to take home, talk to costumed historical reënactors, and see the history of Des Plaines unfold in detailed displays.

Bring the whole family to beautiful Lake Park and enjoy every day of this great annual festival. www.FallFestDesPlaines.com
