Q. What do you suggest a family bring for a day at HomerFest?
A. Summertime in Homer Glen can be quite sunny and warm. HomerFest suggests that you bring sun tan lotion and sunglasses. Wear good shoes because HomerFest is around 10 acres in size with some of the area on grass. You might want to bring some money for food and beverages and the carnival area rides and games. Most of all, have fun.
