A few weeks ago we had the pleasure and honor of hosting our 2nd annual Inspired By: YOU! Fest at Douglass Park and we are still trying to find the words to describe it!

We are incredibly grateful for all of our sponsors, partners, volunteers, performers, vendors, and most importantly YOU!

Here’s a sneak peak recap of the day! Who’s coming next year?!

“I think I like when it rains” – Plants 🪴

Rain or shine, we shop, we drink, & we dine! Join Solemn Oath & Curated Collections as we celebrate Illinois Craft Beer Week with a very unique plant market and patio party in Naperville this Wednesday from 4PM-8:30PM.

Shop from over a dozen plant-themed vendors while you enjoy beer by us (naturally) & incredible eats food from Happy Times Snack Shack.

Weather permitting, we’ll be partying in the patio. Should mother nature see fit to bless us with more hydration, we’ll move things indoors & enjoy your company all the same.

❄️ What a time we had at January Play Date! We had a little hike up into Big Marsh, but that didn’t stop our Chicago-tough Bigs & Littles from getting into some serious winter fun together.

❄️ From sledding off the pump track to examining icicles, we all pulled together and embraced the 22 degree temperature. We read a few stories, walked down to the marsh to investigate animal tracks, and of course, snacked on s’mores and hot cocoa. Chocolate to the rescue! 🍫

❄️ A very frozen thank you to all of our Bigs, Littles, friends, comrades, and collaborators who bring this mission of free outdoor play to life each month. We absolutely could not do this without your love and support! You are the real MVPs. 🫶🏽

❄️ February is around the corner, and we’re planning something 💗 LOVELY 💗 for this community at our next monthly Play Date! Meet us on Sunday, February 25 at 2pm, at Garden of the Phoenix in Jackson Park. Watch this space for the flyer and all the essential deets, coming soon. Catch you outside! 🩵
