A children's area with activities provided by Pinot's Palette, Daily Apple Face Painting, WickedBall Chicago, KidStrong, and Naper Settlement will also be on site.
Each night, all tips collected at the beverage tents benefit a local organization. Tips on Friday benefit the Naperville Jaycees, and Saturday's tips will go to the Naperville Junior Woman's Club.
Inspired by Andy Warhol's paintings of Campbell's soup, Naper Settlement has partnered with the Cleve Carney Museum of Art at College of DuPage's Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop exhibit and Loaves and Fishes for a canned food drive at Naper Nights. Attendees can bring food or a personal care item donation to any Naper Nights concert and drop them off in Naper Settlement's Warhol-inspired soup can display.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for youths (ages 4-12). Members and children younger than 4 receive complimentary admission. For information and tickets, visit NaperNights.org.
