Arts & Culture

Indigenous Peoples' Day is the second Monday of October. In 2024, a few weeks after the holiday and on National Bison Day (November 2), we welcomed native musician Bill Buchholz to play native flute music and share stories inspired by his culture and traditions.

Kerfuffle, Chicago's only theatre for the very young, sometimes visits West Ridge Nature Park to bring activities filled with creativity, music, and interactive elements that offer children a unique and confidence-boosting experience. 

Another activity children love and that ignites their amazing willingness to create is a puppet playtime. Children use the puppets to act out books, share animal facts, ask questions, and make new friends.
