Overview:

Naperville Last Fling is a four- day event of huge proportions that began as a small carnival 55 years ago, and is now one of the largest event throughout Chicago’s entire nine collar county area, attracting more than 50,000 people over Labor Day Weekend, and delivering millions of dollars back to the community over the past decade. 

It’s also an event that makes the end of summer go down a whole lot easier for its throngs of attendees. In fact, this event manages to pack an entire summer’s worth of fun into four days– big, big fun for every family member from toddlers to grandparents.  No matter what your age or what your particular brand of fun, you will more than likely find it at the Fling.

The Over-the-Top, Unique Family Funland:

Enter the term ‘White Glove’ again… for this is the best way to describe the Fling’s Family Funland. It’s a huge area packed with kid-centric fun. A popular component is the high quality petting zoo that offers kids a chance to pet and get up close to exotic and common farm animals. There will be many other unique activities and happenings at Family Funland soon to be announced.

The Carnival:

Of course there has to be a carnival- and this one more than measures up to the Last Fling quality standard. It covers an entire city block- and features state of the art rides for all ages, as well as games of chance and skill and of course- prizes.

Business Expo:

Last Fling produces a Business Exp which is centrally located and offers local, regional and national companies and brands the opportunity to market and promote themselves to this demographically desirable crowd.
