Fall Fest Returns To Homewood This September

HOMEWOOD, IL — Homewood residents will gather for family-fun fall activities this September, as Fall Fest is making its way back to town.

On Saturday, Sept. 25, the festival will kick off at noon, ending at 9 p.m. The annual event will take place on tree-lined Martin Avenue from Hickory Road to Kroner Lane.

Homewood's festival will feature live entertainment, horse-drawn wagon rides through downtown, games, craft vendors, a pumpkin patch, children’s crafts and "scrumptious cuisine" prepared by local eateries, according to the village.

The village said another activity is making a return to the festival this year. Homewood's Chili Cook-Off encourages residents to bring their best chili recipe to be judged by a panel. Registration for the event is required, and those interested can fill out the application here.
