Veggie Fest - Lisle, IL


Veggie Fest is a festival of food vendors, cooking demonstrations, health products and practitioners, music and kids activities.  Basically anything and everything that promotes a positive healthy lifestyle. 


This was a trip that I requested and my boys went along with for the ride.  I wanted to go for the opportunity to try out different foods. That’s not a strong suit for Aiden but I give him a lot of credit because he tried every freebie we came across.  


We visited all the food vending booths and most of the products ones but, of course, what Aiden appreciated the most was the kids activities area where he made a couple of craft projects.  All in all, I would say Aiden handled this “mom excursion” quite well.  


Couple things you won’t learn from their website; most food products are not actually for sale at the individual booths, they’re just for show, you don’t purchase food with money, you purchase with tickets so get tickets before standing in the super long lines (although they do move at a good pace). And lastly, a good chunk of time was spent just trying to park the car!  We waited in an extremely long, extremely slow moving line before we ever even reached the parking lot.
