Live Music, Food & Family Fun

Don't miss this afternoon at Cantigny Park from 1:00pm - 7:00pm on June 10th. The Riverside Folk Fest is a family event that offers a restful summer picnic (bring your lawn chairs & a blanket!) with great live bands. This year we welcome to the stage: a local favorite, Miles Over Mountains & JigJam, all the way from Ireland! Enjoy refreshments, food trucks, children's activities, games and more!
