Plainfield Fest is right around the corner!

This year’s celebration will include a special opportunity for children and individuals with special needs to enjoy the carnival before the crowds arrive.

On Friday, July 17, from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., the carnival will offer a sensory-friendly hour with slower ride speeds, no flashing lights and quieter surroundings to help create a more comfortable experience for everyone.

Admission to Plainfield Fest during this special hour is free for participating individuals with special needs and their parents/guardians (ride tickets are required).

This year’s Plainfield Fest runs July 17-19.
