Bolingbrook Events

An annual tradition for our community ... please visit https://bit.ly/2026halloweenhouses to submit your house (or your spooky neighbors house) to be included in this year's FREE, Digital, and Interactive Decorated House Map for !

We hope to post the map on our about October 19th!

Note: If you have a picture of the home that you'd like featured in social media posts, please e-mail it to Michael Carpanzano at [email protected]. However please be sure to still use the link above to submit the address for the digital map placement!

Unfortunately I have seen some terrible information on social media coming from campaigns in the past few days. I am sure their intention was strong, but it is really important that our local voters get accurate information from their local election authority on how and when they can vote and in what manner.

Please have your voice heard. You can vote by mail, early vote, or vote on election day. But your voice means something this election and EVERY election. Candidates in this election hopefully have introduced themselves to you, but if they didn't please go read about them and do your research.

Note: Local non-partisan elections ARE NOT this November! This November are all the partisan offices. Non-Partisan elections for offices like park board, village/city/town board, library board, etc. happen in '27 and again in '29!

We got an unexpected air show today in ! According to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), at least 15 aircraft violated the temporary flight restrictions (TDRs) over the area for the President's visit to Chicagoland - and in 10 of those instances, fighter jets performed intercepts to gain the attention of the pilots.

In two of those intercepts, the NORAD jets used flares to get the pilots’ attention, though the department says the flares burn out quickly and pose no danger to the public.

Each week more local businesses, organizations, and non-profits ask Trustee Carpanzano for this event listing to be updated – which means we keep growing the list of the best events in our community! As always, please check with the event organizer for any changes due to weather, agenda, etc. Thanks for always supporting our community, below are some helpful tags or links relative to the associated event:

BFD OPEN HOUSE IS BACK! One of the Bolingbrook Fire Department’s biggest community events of the year is coming up, and this is your chance to experience BFD from the inside.

Join us Saturday, October 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Fire Station #4, 1111 W. Boughton Road for our annual Fire Prevention Week Open House.

This is much more than a tour of the firehouse. Our firefighters and specialty teams will be conducting demonstrations throughout the day, giving families an up-close look at the equipment, training, and teamwork that go into protecting our community. Climb up for a closer look at the apparatus, meet the firefighters who ride them, ask questions, and get involved. We want this to be an interactive day for the whole family.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.” We’ll have practical fire safety information families can take home, especially as rechargeable batteries become part of more of the devices, tools, toys, bikes, and scooters we use every day.

And if you’ve ever thought about becoming a firefighter/paramedic, don’t just follow BFD on social media. Come meet us. Talk with our firefighters about the job, see the equipment and specialty opportunities firsthand, and get a better idea of what a career serving Bolingbrook actually looks like. You might walk into Station 4 as a visitor and leave thinking a little differently about your future.

Bring the kids, bring your questions, and plan to spend some time with us. This is your fire department, and for one day we’re opening the doors and inviting Bolingbrook in.

📅 Saturday, October 3 | 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
📍 Fire Station #4 | 1111 W. Boughton Road
