Naperville's Water Street to celebrate Fun Fall Family Day Oct. 24

Halloween may feel a bit different this year, but the merchants of Water Street in downtown Naperville will be celebrating with a Fun Fall Family Day on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Water Street.

Children under age 12 are invited to visit the no-contact "pumpkin patch" as the Foyo Plaza on Water Street will be lined with various sized pumpkins to choose from for free.

Street chalk artist and muralist Nate Baranowski will be creating a fall themed 3-D chalk painting on the plaza for families to "jump into" to take interactive photos.

Free kid's alpine hats are available at London Skye, 120 Water St., Suite 104.

Balloon twisting, a clown and stilt-walker will stroll the street throughout the afternoon to add to the fun.

Masks and distancing will be observed.

Water Street is home to the Hotel Indigo Naperville Riverwalk, restaurants Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Santo Cielo, SixtyFour Wine Bar & Kitchen and Quiubo, as well as Elements Events, London Skye apparel and gifts, Naperville Jewelers, and Trails & Tides, home to Patagonia, Southern Tide and Yeti.

Overlooking Naperville's famed Riverwalk, the district features public art and plenty of outdoor seating and is adjacent to Jaycees Wifi Park, Naper Settlement and all that downtown has to offer. Plan to make a weekend of Fall Family Fun Day with reservations for lunch or dinner or Sunday brunch, or for a room or suite at Indigo.
