Location and Directions
The road entrance into LaBagh Woods is on Cicero Ave, just north of Foster Ave. Due to limited parking, attendees are highly encouraged to bike, walk, and take public transit to Fall Nature Fest. The 92 Foster CTA bus stops just outside of LaBagh Woods, and the Metra Forest Glen stop is just a fifteen-minute walk from LaBagh Woods. Supervised bike parking is available at the event.
