For the seventh year since its smash debut in 2007, Skokie's Backlot Bash will once again offer area residents an action-packed downtown summer street festival in 2013!
Over three days, Skokie's Backlot Bash will feature more than 15 hours of free live music on a main stage located on Oakton Avenue near the Village Hall, including regional and national acts. The event will also feature an amusement park/carnival, a Saturday 5K Run, a Charlie Chaplin silent film festival at the historic Skokie Theatre, a classic auto show, a business expo and sidewalk sale, fun teen activities, bingo, food and beer, and more!
The name "Backlot" pays tribute to downtown Skokie's heritage as a major silent film industry back lot set between 1907 and 1915.
