Plainfield Band Boosters announce annual craft show to support high school bands

The Plainfield Band Boosters will hold their 27th annual fall craft show on October 25 and 26, 2025, at Plainfield High School – Central Campus. The event, located at 24120 West Fort Beggs Drive in Plainfield, will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

All proceeds from the craft show are designated for the band programs at four local high schools: Plainfield High School-Central Campus, as well as Plainfield East, North, and South high schools. According to organizers, last year’s event generated more than $40,000 for these programs.

The craft show is expected to attract thousands of attendees and will feature over 200 booths with crafts and gifts available for purchase. Food items and baked goods will also be sold during the event, including the Band Boosters’ signature baked potatoes.

Admission costs $5 per person for those aged 18 or older; entry is free for anyone under 18 years old. Strollers are permitted inside the venue.
