This coming weekend, August 8 – 10, the City of Darien and the Darien Business Alliance will be conducting our 37th Annual Darien Fest at Westwood Park located on 75th Street and Fairview Avenue. Events such as Darien Fest play an important role in bringing families, friends and neighbors together in a fun, relaxed setting. Amid the busy pace of everyday life, the fest offers a much-needed opportunity for residents to step away from their routines and simply enjoy each other’s company. Whether it’s sharing a meal from a local food vendor, cheering on a favorite band like “Blind Reality,” “Bad Medicine,” or “Reckless,” or watching kids laugh and play on the Windy City Carnival rides, Darien Fest creates an atmosphere where lasting memories are made.
The fest will offer activities like BINGO, while our Business Expo provides fest visitors with an opportunity to explore and learn about several of our Darien businesses. The wide variety of entertainment provides something for residents and visitors of all ages. These shared experiences foster a sense of connection and community pride, reminding us of the value of spending quality time together. Darien Fest is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of local spirit, togetherness, and the simple joy of being part of a vibrant community.
