SummerFest Forrest Park Illinois
 
Friday: June 5th: 5 to 11 p.m.
Saturday: June 6th : 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

   

This 'hip' Summer festival features live music, a beer garden, food court, antique market, local merchant sidewalk sale, children's events and activities, pony rides, a giant slide and more. Growing in size and popularity each year, this family-friendly festival features two rock and roll stages. We expect a full food court as well as booths all along Madison so festival-goers can 'taste' why Forest Park was named "Best in Neighborhood Dining" in a 2008 Chicago Tribune poll!

One of the Chamber's biggest fund raisers, Summer fest draws upwards of 10,000 folks from all around the Chicagoland area, and is also a community favorite! There is no entrance fee thanks to the generosity of our sponsors!

The Vendor Check-In Booth/Ticket Booth is Constitution Court
CHECK-IN:
Friday from 3-5 pm (Must be done by 5pm) and
