Parade Field
For the first time, our fall festival will be an entire weekend! The fun begins Friday night, October 13, from 4:00–11:00 pm featuring German-style food and beer, with live music under a big tent on the Cantigny parade field! Hang out in the tent or cozy up on the Adirondacks around a firepit or play lawn games outside of the tent.
We’ll do it again on Saturday night after a fun day featuring 100 craft vendors, hayrides, petting zoo, inflatables, live music and entertainer, kids’ craft, pumpkin and plant sales.
Our three-day festival concludes at 4:00 pm on Sunday with another full day of colorful, seasonal fun for the whole family. Delicious food options prepared by Cantigny’s culinary team will also be available during the day throughout the weekend.
