The Naperville Jaycees Last Fling: Celebrating 35 Years of Community Service
The Naperville Jaycees Last Fling is an annual event that takes place over Labor Day weekend in Naperville, Illinois. This year, the event will be held from September 2nd to September 5th, 2022 and marks the 35th anniversary of the Loaves and Fishes Community Services.
The Last Fling is a celebration of community spirit and volunteerism. It brings together people from all walks of life to enjoy live music, carnival rides, food vendors, craft fairs, and much more. The event is organized by the Naperville Jaycees – a non-profit organization that has been serving the community since 1964.
Over the years, the Last Fling has become one of Naperville's most beloved traditions. It attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to enjoy its family-friendly atmosphere and support local businesses. But it's not just about having fun – it's also about giving back.
Proceeds from the Last Fling go towards supporting local charities such as Loaves and Fishes Community Services – an organization that provides food assistance to families in need. In fact, since its inception in 1986, the Last Fling has raised over $2 million for various charitable causes.
One of the highlights of this year's event will be a special tribute to Loaves and Fishes on their 35th anniversary. There will be a variety of activities throughout the weekend that celebrate their contributions to our community.
But there's more than just charity at play here – there are also plenty of opportunities for entertainment! The musical lineup for this year includes some big names like Cheap Trick and Bret Michaels as well as local favorites like Sixteen Candles and Modern Day Romeos.
In addition to live music performances on multiple stages throughout downtown Naperville during all four days/nights (Thursday through Sunday), there will be a carnival with rides and games, a craft fair featuring over 200 vendors, and plenty of food options to satisfy any craving.
The Last Fling is also known for its family-friendly activities. There will be a Kid's Korner with games and activities for children of all ages, as well as a parade on Monday morning that features local marching bands, floats, and community groups.
Overall, the Naperville Jaycees Last Fling is an event that truly embodies the spirit of community. It's a celebration of volunteerism, charity, and fun – all rolled into one unforgettable weekend. So mark your calendars for September 2nd-5th and come join us in Naperville!
