Prairie Fest continues four-day run in Wood Dale

Wood Dale's four-day Prairie Fest celebration, now in its 12th year in the city, is expected to draw more than 16,000 people before it closes its run Sunday night at Town Square, Wood Dale Road and Commercial Street.

Long noted for its food, the festival also includes music, carnival rides, activities for kids and more.

Organizers say the festival began as a picnic and gradually expanded into the much-anticipated communitywide celebration.

The festival continues from 1 to 10 p.m. Sunday with four bands scheduled to take the main stage: Without U2, a U2 tribute band, at 1 p.m.; CTA (a Chicago tribute band) at 3 p.m.; Hi Infidelity, playing music from the '80s until today, at 5:15 p.m.; and 7th Heaven, playing music of the '80s, at 8 p.m.
