Cheap Trick, Aaron Carter To Perform At Naperville's Last Fling

NAPERVILLE, IL — As the days start to get shorter and school gets back into session, it's becoming painfully clear (even to the most loath to admit it) that summer is coming to an end. Luckily, the Naperville Jaycees Last Fling 2018 — set for Aug. 31 through Sept. 3, gives friends and family one last hurrah at festival season before the leaves begin to change colors.

This year, the beloved annual festival features Lance Bass of *NSYNC, Aaron Carter, Cheap Trick, Lucky Boys Confusion, and more. If you lived through the 1990s, you might be psyched to see Lit, P.O.D., Buckcherry, and Alien Ant Farm at the Last Fling.

This year's festivities will bring some tried-and-true festival favorites — think carnival rides, games, fair food — along with some new special events. Clued In will feature a pop-up escape room that festival goers can attempt to break free from and Medieval Times will attempt to set a world record of "Most People Wearing Paper Crowns."

Naperville's Annual Labor Day Parade will march through the streets of the city on Sept. 3. The parade steps off from Naperville North High School at 10 a.m. and lasts until 11:30, when it comes to a stop at Naperville Central High School.

Live music will be featured on two separate stages at the Last Fling. Here's a lineup of the performances:
