Magic, Juggling, More Planned For Event In Downtown Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — Jugglers, stilt walkers, a magician, a balloon artist, live Motown music and other fun activities will mark the end of the current phase of construction in downtown Naperville on Sept. 24. The Progress in Progress celebration kicks off at 11 a.m. near the intersections of Main and Jefferson and Main and Jackson.

The family-friendly festivities also include:

• Princess meet and greet
• Face painting
• Caricature artist

From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Motown Nation will perform live music in the parking lot across the street from Sullivan's Steakhouse. Allegory's food truck will be on hand selling items for $5, so festival goers can recharge.

“Let alone was the construction a beautification project, it also allowed for desperately-needed replacement and repair of the underground infrastructure in our downtown,” Danielle Tufano, Executive Director of the Downtown Naperville Alliance, said in a statement.

Tufano added, “What better way to show off our beautiful new downtown area and showcase the businesses that stuck through the project than with a free family-friendly celebration?”
