The Norridge Fall Fest took place Friday through Sunday, at times dodging rain clouds, but enjoying sunny periods, too.

The three-day fest featured a carnival, food and bands ranging from pop and rock to German music, a nod to the Oktoberfest season. Kids could also be entertained with face painting, balloon artists and people-watching. All the festivities took place at Norridge Park, 4631 N. Overhill, Norridge.
