33rd Annual Chester Bowl Fall Fest is September 16

 

[Duluth, MN] –Chester Bowl Fall Fest is a celebration of community and the change of seasons! This year’s 33rd anniversary event is scheduled for September 16, 2017 at Chester Bowl (1801 East Skyline Parkway) from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Fall Fest will host over 125 vendors selling locally and hand-made items, a farmers market, a great line up of music, 8 food vendors, and activities for families and children. The Chester Bowl Improvement Club will be selling branded gear and sharing information about their seasonal programming.

 

Suggested donations of $5/person, $10/family will be accepted at the entrance to support Chester program scholarships for kids in need who want to participate in the winter skiing and snowboarding program and/or the summer adventure program.  Last winter the Chester Bowl Improvement Club awarded over $18,500 in scholarships to families in need of financial assistance. Donations at Fall Fest last year totaled about $7,500 to support the scholarship fund.  

 

The music schedule includes:

10:00 - 11:30             Woodblind

12:00 - 1:30               Ingeborg von Agassiz

2:00 – 3:30         Mama’s Stolen Horses

 

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 17, 2017, same hours. Additional information can be found at http://www.chesterbowl.org/fall-fest/.
