Chester Bowl Fall Fest 2026

The 42nd annual Chester Bowl Fall Fest features vendors displaying arts, crafts, produce and information about local programs, along with food venders, live music and activities for children.

Suggested donations of $5 per person or $10 per family are accepted at the entrance to support Chester Bowl’s scholarship program, supporting low-income children and families who want to ski, snowboard or attend summer camp but aren’t able to afford the registration fees.

The public is encouraged to use the three free shuttle buses that run continuously from the University of Minnesota Duluth parking lot B, located at the intersection of College Street and University Drive. Parking is very limited near the event, so walking, biking or using the shuttles is highly recommended. There are a limited number of handicapped accessible parking spots near the entrance to the park.

The rain date is Sunday, Sept. 20, with the same hours.
