Smash Mouth, 7th Heaven coming to Schaumburg's Septemberfest

Schaumburg's 46th annual Septemberfest, featuring three days full of live music, carnival rides, family activities and more, kicked off Saturday on the village's municipal grounds near Schaumburg Road and Summit Drive.

Officials estimate more than 250,000 people will attend the free festival, which will be highlighted by a fireworks show Sunday night and what's billed as the suburbs' largest parade Monday morning.

Among the new components this year is a Craft Beer & Wine Tent, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day within the Arts & Crafts show, which has 250 exhibitors.

Main stage entertainment will be highlighted by a performance at 8:30 p.m. Sunday by platinum-selling rock band Smash Mouth. Local favorite 7th heaven will perform on the main stage Monday night.

The theme for this year's Labor Day Parade is the celebration of Schaumburg's 60th anniversary. The two-mile parade will begin at 10 a.m. Monday at Wise Road and Summit Drive and proceed north on Summit to Stock Port Lane.
