The 40th annual Chester Bowl Fall Fest features more than 130 vendors displaying arts, crafts, produce and information about local programs. There will also be 10 food venders and live music (see schedule below). The Chester Bowl Improvement Club will be selling branded gear at the entrance.
Suggested donations of $5 per person or $10 per family will be accepted at the entrance to support Chester winter program scholarships for kids in need who want to participate in winter sports. Last year the community supported Chester Bowl with $10,662 in donations. That funding, along with the Skis, Suds & Slices event in November) enabled the Chester Bowl Improvement Club to award more than $27,500 in winter scholarships to about 140 different families last year, and to support 75 weeks of camp with $12,672 in scholarships in summer 2024.
The public is encouraged to use the three free shuttle buses that will run continuously from the University of Minnesota Duluth parking lot B, located at the intersection of College St. 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.
