Join in the MayFest Celebration this Sunday!
On the heels of one of our worst winters in history, the Western Springs Historical Society invites families to an afternoon of old-fashioned family fun.
This Sunday, May 4, the Western Springs Historical Society invites families to participate in an afternoon of carnival games, old-fashioned entertainment, food and crafts. The event will take place Sunday, May 4, from 2 to 5 pm at the Tower Green.
Carnival games will include nostalgic favorites like the milk can toss, bucket drop, and a scavenger hunt in the Water Tower with a raffle prize. Entertainment will feature a juggler, unicyclists, and the Western Springs-based Allegro fiddle and dance ensemble. You can even take a ride in an antique Model A Ford!

Craft tables will offer boys and girls the opportunity to create crafts from another time, like May baskets, crowns and pennants. Children, preschool through grade 4th grade, can participate in a coloring contest. Entertainment is free, and tickets for food, crafts and games can be purchased at the event.
