FUN & FOOD PROGRAM

Every year, the Buffalo Grove Days Committee and the Rick Kahen Commission for Residents with Disabilities (RKCRD) team up to present the Food & Fun Program. This is a special program for people with disabilities and their immediate families (living in the same household) to enjoy the fun of the festival.

The event takes place in the Carnival Area on Monday, September 6th, from 10:00 – 11:30 am

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest guidelines from the CDC, we do NOT have a Food Tent. Therefore, there are a couple of changes this year:

there will be NO lunch served at the event this year. Carnival food will be available for purchase, if desired.
there will be NO entertainment
