Summer Event Pass 2026
Fun you’ll come back for again and again!
Join us all summer long for free community events, collect punches on your Summer Event Pass, and get entered to win prizes along the way.
Pick up your Summer Event Pass at participating Skokie Park District events beginning at Festival of Cultures on May 16 & 17, then bring it back to participating events throughout the summer to collect more punches and earn more chances to win.
How It Works
- Pick up a Summer Event Pass at any participating event.
- Bring your pass back to participating events throughout the summer.
- Get your card punched once per event day.
- Enter that event’s raffle each time you attend a participating event.
- Attend more events for more chances to win the Grand Prize.
Event Raffle Prizes
At each participating event, guests who receive a punch will enter that event’s raffle.
Event raffle winners may receive prizes such as:
- Free 3-month pass to the Skokie Park District's Fitness First Center
- Family pool pass
- Free golf at Weber Park 9-hole golf course
- Backlot Bash's BLB VIP access
- Skokie Park District experience prizes
- Skokie Park District gear
Prize availability may vary by event. Some restrictions may apply. The winner does not need to be present to win. Raffles will be drawn at each event at varying times.
Grand Prize
At the end of the summer, two grand prize winners will receive a $500 Skokie Park District gift card.
Gift cards may be used toward Skokie Park District programs, events, rentals, parties, lessons, personal training, Fitness Center memberships, and other eligible Park District purchases.
Grand prize gift cards must be used by August 31, 2027.
Grand Prize Entry Levels
Each event punch equals one entry into the grand prize. The more events you attend, the more chances you have to win.
Completed cards must be submitted at Backlot Bash on August 30 by 12 noon. Drawing will be held on Backlot mainstage at 1 p.m.
