Major main stage acts are The Family Stone 8:30 p.m. Sunday and 7th Heaven, 7:30 p.m. Monday. Opening acts are Karen Hart Band 6 p.m. Sunday and He Said She Said 5 p.m. Sunday.
Other major elements of the festival include a carnival, 10 p.m. Sunday fireworks, the 10 a.m. Monday Labor Day parade, 250 arts and crafts exhibitors, and Taste of Schaumburg through Sunday featuring 24 restaurants.
