32nd Annual Chester Bowl Fall Fest is September 17

 

[Duluth, MN] – Kids are back in school and there are some hints of fall colors peeking through the green. That means it’s time for the annual Chester Bowl Fall Fest! This year’s 32nd anniversary event is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2016 at Chester Bowl (1801 East Skyline Parkway) from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The public is invited to celebrate community and the change of seasons and enjoy music, food, a variety of craft vendors, locally grown fresh produce, and informational booths about local programs. We will host over 120 craft vendors, a great line up of music, 8 food vendors, and family activities. The Chester Bowl Improvement Club will be selling t-shirts, sweatshirts, winter hats, and trucker hats.

 

Suggested donations of $5/person, $10/family will be accepted at the entrance to support Chester winter program scholarships for kids in need who want to participate in winter sports. Last winter the Chester Bowl Improvement Club awarded $12,290 in scholarships to families in need of financial assistance. Donations at Fall Fest last year totaled about $7,000 and the goal is to surpass this amount.  

 

The music schedule includes:

10:00 to 11:30 am    Greg Tiburzi, folk rock

12:00 - 1:30 pm         The Fish Heads, Bluegrass

2:00 – 3:30 pm      Mama’s Stolen Horses, Americana Folk-grass

 

Free Shuttle Service:

The public is highly encouraged to use the three free shuttle buses that will run continuously from the University of Minnesota Duluth Parking Lot B, located at the intersection of College St. and University Drive. Parking is very limited near the event, so walking, biking, or using the shuttles is highly recommended. There are a limited number of handicapped accessible parking spots near the entrance to the park.

 

The planned rain date is Sunday, September 18, 2016, same hours. 

Additional information can be found at http://www.chesterbowl.org/fall-fest/. 

 

This annual event is sponsored by the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division, the Chester Bowl Improvement Club, and Midwest Communications. Donations and Chester Bowl clothing sales proceeds benefit the Chester Bowl Improvement Club and its programming.
