This year’s family-friendly Naper Days festival was off to a great start this Friday.

While the weather might have been a little questionable, festival goers didn’t seem to mind.

Naper Days is a festival designed to unite our community, celebrate the present and future, and build awareness of the many great things Naperville has to offer.

The annual Naper Settlement event has lots to offer everyone this year. Crowds are looking forward to the Gin Blossoms headline main stage tomorrow night, and anticipation is mounting to see who will win the Bed Races.

Naper Days also features the Taste of Naperville for the 5th year, which features Naperville's finest restaurants and caterers.

From a hummus platter from Arbor Vitae, a steak sandwich from Sullivan's, crab cakes from Timpano's, bread pudding from City Club, or lemonade from Belgio's Catering, there is something for every palette. Prices for different meals range from $5-$3 or less.

Naper Days will continue all Father's Day Weekend, June 14, and 15 at Naper Settlement, located at 523 Webster St., in downtown Naperville. The event will run Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m..

Naper Days tickets are $5, age 8 and under free. After 5 pm on Saturday, June 14 tickets are $10. All proceeds from Naper Days support the Naperville Heritage Society and Naper Settlement.
