Fun Fall Family Day set for Oct. 24 in downtown Naperville

The merchants of Water Street in downtown Naperville will be celebrating Halloween with a Fun Fall Family Day from 1 until 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, on Water Street.

Children under 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. 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.

Overlooking Naperville's Riverwalk, the district features public art and plenty of outdoor seating. For more information visit waterstreetnaperville.com.
