Discover history and tradition with a scenic bus tour of colorful Barn Quilts! This county-wide tour showcases our rural heritage with well preserved farm buildings adorned with a hand painted quilt block. During the tour, take photos of the Barn Quilts and stop at one of the barns for a refreshment break.

Come early on Saturday and shop the Kankakee Farmer's Market from 8:00 AM to Noon. There are several places to eat downtown, so you can enjoy a lunch before departing at 1:00 PM for the tour.

On Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM explore the Fall Art Stroll where you can see fine art, entertainment, and a 50-foot fall garden.  There will also be gourmet sandwiches and homemade taffy apples. Come early and join the fun!
