West Chicago Railroad Days
June 26-29, 2025
Narrative
We are now in our 3% year hosting West Chicago Railroad Days at the end of June rather
than following Independence Day. Pioneer Park provides a beautiful setting for this event
albeit parking is less than optimal. Despite the challenges, we have enjoyed increased
attendance over recent years.
West Chicago Railroad Days is the most popular city-wide event of the year sponsored by
the City of West Chicago. It has become a favorite activity for both residents and visitors.
Much of the popularity is the atmosphere of the event and the many attractions.
Returning in 2025 are the carnival, free concerts, food and merchant vendors, beer garden
and a fabulous fireworks show on Saturday evening. Conditions will be monitored; watering
of the site will be done if necessary.
Bands are being signed and the infrastructure necessary to support such a major event are
being secured, stage, generators, sanitation and of course a carnival contract has been
secured with Fantasy Amusements.
The major challenge in 2025 is the reconstruction of the parking lot on the east side of
Pioneer School. This eliminates access to the parking lot on the North end of the park
which is generally used for vendors, volunteers and general attendees.
To reduce the impact, bus service will be provided from the pedestrian underpass located
on the west side of the high school to and from the festival site. This will be provided at no
cost to riders.
Marketing has already begun on social media which has become the number one source
for festival inquiry and interest. Marketing of special “featured” acts and events we will
continue up to and throughout the event. All applications and downloadable schedules
and attractions will remain on our website throughout the event.
Respectfully,
David J Sabathne, President
