Unlimited Carnival Wristband Times for Lakeside Festival

The 34th Annual Lakeside Festival begins Wednesday in Crystal Lake at the historic Dole Mansion-Lakeside Legacy Arts Park.

Like every year, there will be plenty of food options, a beverage tent and live entertainment on two stages.

But some people - particularly kids and parents - just want to know the times for the unlimited carnival wristbands.

Windy City Amusements operate the carnival rides and offers single ticket rides and $20 unlimited ride wristbands during specific time periods during Lakeside Festival, which runs through Sunday, July 7, this year. 

Here are the Unlimited Wristband Times:

• 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 3

• 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday, July 4  

• No wristbands available Friday, July 5, fest attendees can buy single tickets

• Noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 6 

• 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 7 

$1 Off coupons for the carnival wristbands are available at the yellow Lakeside entrance booths, bringing the total cost down to $19.

The annual festival is Lakeside Legacy Arts Park’s largest fundraiser and is run by generous volunteers and sponsors. Community volunteers power Lakeside Fest-  so sign up to give back to your community by becoming a volunteer at the Festival by going to LakesideLegacy.org. Volunteers receive free admission. 

Proceeds from Lakeside Festival benefit Lakeside Legacy Arts Park and the historic Dole Mansion, and the continuation of a vision to create a world class community arts center.
