St. Boni’s Fall Festival
It's time to celebrate! We are excited for our annual St. Boni's Fall Festival, the first weekend after Labor Day, September 7. Saint Bonaventure has called the Bloomington community home for nearly 66 years, and we have loved celebrating with our broader community by way of this festival for 53 years.
The St. Boni's Fall Festival is an annual outdoor community festival bringing thousands together with festival fun for everyone! Saturday kicks off with a Parade at 10 a.m. with festival fun all day, concluding with a "come as you are" Mass at 7 p.m. There is truly fun for everyone, from kids' activities and crafts to live entertainment, a cash raffle, games of chance, and more than 300 classic cars. Fabulous food options reflect our diverse parish, from Vietnamese egg rolls made in our very own church kitchen to fresh-cut french fries with grilled burgers and a custom seasoning for our premier pork chops. Here are a few highlights this year: Car Show More than 300 classic cars, trucks, and hot rods ’79 and older come from all over for our 29th Annual St. Boni’s Car Show. Live Entertainment
Live performances by Sawyer's Dream and The Dakota Ramblers.
Parade We kick off our community festival showcasing the fun spirit and talents of our community. Young and old, we invite everyone to show off their talents or dress up in their best costumes and favorite modes of transportation! Carlson's Llovable Llamas will be joining us for the parade and will stay after for photo opportunities. The parade route circles our property on 10th Ave., 92nd Street, and Chicago.

From kids’ activities and crafts to live entertainment, a silent auction, raffle, games of chance, and cold beverages, there is festival fun for everyone.
