Organizers of the Old Naperville Day Block Party regretfully announce the cancellation of the 2020 community celebration scheduled for August 16th, 2020.
We regret to announce this year's Old Naperville Day Block Party has been canceled. Maintaining the health and safety of our community is our number one priority and, given the uncertain future for public events due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the decision to postpone this year's block party and resume in August of 2021 is important to us. Seeing our friends and neighbors at the block party is the highlight of our summer and we are saddened we are unable to celebrate in person this year, but optimistic for a great celebration in 2021. We thank all the incredible sponsors, vendors, and attendees for their understanding and ongoing support, and know that we will return when the block party can be enjoyed safely.
The volunteer committee who organizes the block party are encouraging past attendees and supporters to continue to find ways to help the events beneficiary DuPagePads. "Helping local families and individuals who are homeless, especially during this difficult time, is very important to us and we are exploring ways we can continue to support DuPagePads" says Teri Feldott, member of the Old Naperville Day committee. The organizers are currently exploring the possibility of a free virtual concert hosted on the same day the Old Naperville Day Block Party was scheduled, and are encouraging the community to contribute with food and monetary donations at www.dupagepads.org/donate.
