Every year in October we open up the streets of Historic Downtown Chester for much looked forward to event, Hillarity. We kick off the weekend with a DJ and a dance party and Friday night. Then on Saturday we start bright and early to make sure we have enough time for all the fun. Food trucks with funnel cakes & other fair favorites line the streets. Make sure to check out our local vendors selling all sorts of goods. This event is definitely kid friendly - we have bounce houses, face painting, games & more! A car show, donut eating contest, bingo, dunk booth, live music and so much more are a few other things that make this event so much fun!
