The Dutch Festival offers fun for the whole family! Begin the day with a free and delicious Pannenkoek "pancake" Breakfast (donations accepted) which runs from 7:30-10:00 am. Browse the colorful Farmer's Market and Elim's Dutch Village shops from 8 am-4 pm. High-quality toe-tapping Entertainment acts will delight audiences of all ages throughout the day from the Main Stage tent (9 am-4 pm).

Be sure to come hungry because you'll want to nibble throughout the day at the Food Court on great Dutch and American cuisine like banket (pastries with almond filling), hutspot (beef and potatoes), oliebollen (Dutch pastry), pizza, hamburgers, bratwurst, hotdogs, and more – all at affordable prices.

Everyone in your family will be delighted by the Dutch "Wooden shoe" dancers and amazing reptile shows, and kids will also enjoy the petting zoo, train rides, and pony rides, in addition to the Children's Games area.

Parking, shuttle bus service, and admission are free.

Location: The Dutch Festival is held on the east campus of Elim Christian Services – 13020 S Central Ave, Crestwood, IL, 60418 – approximately 23 miles South/Southwest of downtown Chicago.
