Naper Settlement won’t be leasing its grounds for large festivals in 2023 because of new welcome center construction, but smaller, museum-organized events and programs will continue.
Settlement CEO/President Rena Tamayo-Calabrese told the Naperville City Council during recent budget talks that the area around what will become the Birck Family Innovation Gateway will be under construction until its September opening, making it challenging to hold large outdoor events.She also confirmed the popular Soulfest music festival would not be returning the Settlement.
Area residents attend the second annual Naper Pride Fest at the Naper Settlement in Naperville in September. With a new welcome center under construction at the museum, fest organizers are looking at alternative locations for their event, a Settlement official said. Although several groups approached the settlement about renting the grounds, “being able to offer the right kind of setting for some of those events is more problematic,” Calabrese said.Losing events like Soul Fest will cause a 47% drop in large-scale rental revenues, though it’s just a portion of the museum’s overall budget, Calabrese said.
The new buildings unlock the opportunity for the museum to reassess the role of large public events in the Settlement’s long-range planning, Calabrese said.
