Tourism in Romeoville
The Village of Romeoville has an outstanding and active Recreation Department, which plans and organizes activities, sports, and a number of events and festivals throughout the year. The citizens of Romeoville celebrate themselves with seasonal fun for the whole family, from breakfast with the Easter Bunny, Halloween Fest, to a Winter Wonderland. The annual Winter Wonderland offers a myriad of activities for the whole family. Pictures with Santa, live reindeer, story time, crafts and more, get the whole community into the holiday spirit.
The most popular event of the year is by far Romeoville’s renowned Romeofest. Each year, the village, working with a committee of residents, spends countless hours making painstaking preparations to bring five entertainment-packed days home to Romeoville.
Romeofest, an annual event, draws between 30,000 and 40,000 people. The fest offers a variety of games, music, food and fun, and consists of a main stage, family stage, carnival, a tantalizing array of vendors, sporting competitions and an unmistakable air of celebration.
Popular past events have included Romeoville Idol, clown shows, Radio Disney, an exciting musical lineup that covers every possible genre, such as tribute bands for both the Beatles and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The festivities then explode into the Festival Fireworks Finale.
The village offers a free shuttle service to and from the fest, with several pickup points around town.
