5 Free Things to Do in Warrenville This Summer

One of the quietly great things about Warrenville is how much there is to do without spending money or driving far. Here are five free ways to make the most of summer right here at home.

1. Movies in the Park

The Park District runs outdoor movie nights through the summer. Bring a blanket, bring the kids, and enjoy a film as the sun goes down. Hard to beat for a free family night.

2. Lunchtime Live

Live music downtown in the middle of the day. Grab lunch from a local spot and enjoy the show. A small thing that makes a regular weekday feel a little more like summer.

3. The Illinois Prairie Path

Warrenville sits right on one of the best trails in the region. Walk it, run it, or bike it. The stretch through Warrenville Grove Forest Preserve is especially pretty in the morning.

4. The Fourth of July Celebration

The parade on July 3 and the festivities through the Fourth are a Warrenville highlight, and watching is free. Line up early for a good parade spot.

5. Summer Daze

The big one. Warrenville's signature festival lands August 7 and 8 at the City Hall complex, with live music, a car show, food, and local business booths. Admission to wander and soak it in costs nothing, and it is the weekend the whole town shows up.

Save this list, share it with a neighbor, and get out there. Summer in Warrenville goes fast.
