Schaumburg Park District hosts Walpurgis Night

The Schaumburg Park District will host the supernaturally themed Walpurgis Night Bonfire and Wagon Ride from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday.

Based on old German tradition, Walpurgis Night will be held at Spring Valley's Volkening Heritage Farm, 201 S. Plum Grove Road.

Walpurgis Night is said to be a time when witches meet on the highest peak of the Harz mountain range in Lower Saxony, Germany, to usher in springtime.

The event offers an opportunity to celebrate Schaumburg's German heritage.

Activities include horse-drawn wagon rides and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire.

Registration is not required. The cost is $7 per person. Admission is free for children 3 and younger.
