Save the date for family fun at Cicero’s third annual Street Festival, sponsored by Boathouse Kitchen and Swan Dive, on Saturday, Aug. 27.

The event, put on by Our Town Cicero, will take place from 4 to 9 p.m. on Jackson Street. Activities include a D.J., cornhole competition, Bingo, pull tabs, caboose rides from Nickel Plate Express, and a wide variety of products from vendors and local artists.

Families can take advantage of the free bounce houses at the kid zone, sponsored by Lisa Stokes Bear. Kids are also encouraged to join the Sidewalk Chalk competition, made possible by Sherri Trachtman.

The festival will also feature performances from the Hamilton Heights Band at 4 p.m., Hamilton Heights Middle School Robotics at 5 p.m., and Laura Hayden’s School of Dance at 6 p.m.

Those wanting to enjoy dinner at the festival can choose from Dan’s Fish Fry and locally owned food trucks like Sin Fronteras, The Love Bug, Wilson’s Farm Market and more.

“The Cicero Street Festival is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate our vibrant downtown,” Cicero Main Street President Dagny Zupin said. “We are proud that this year’s street festival will showcase and help raise money for so many Hamilton Heights’ extracurricular clubs.”

The Cicero Street Festival is free and open to the public.
