Chicago Camp Fire Festival

The Chicago Campfire Festival in Chase Park will usher in the season with campfires, s’mores, a pumpkin patch, corn maze, ghost stories and live music—essentially everything you need to dive headfirst into autumn. The daylong event will offer family-friendly and adult-approved fun for everyone. If the littles are in tow, arrive early to enjoy theatrical story time, a bouncy house and tractor rides. Campfires will be lit at 6pm, when s’mores will be available to all attendees; the fires will stay lit until the fest ends at 11pm. Billy Joel and Elton John cover band Piano Man Productions will hit the stage at 7:30pm to serenade guests into the night.
