Event details

Summer has arrived in all its glory, and it’s the perfect time for a night in the woods! Our Fun & Food Truck series is heading south for an evening at Forked Creek Preserve — Forsythe Woods off Kahler Road in Wilmington. Come for the bites from Smokin’ Z BBQ and brews from nearby Rt. 66 Old School Brewing and stay for the entertainment and family fun, including lawn games, a story walk, a bounce house and live music by Michael C. Hayes! Be sure to grab some giveaways, including a free Crumbl cookie, and visit our staff to learn more about Forest Preserve District of Will County offerings.

The 2025 Fun & Food Trucks series is sponsored by Old National Bank.
