Danada Nature Art and Photo Show

Danada Nature Art and Photo Show

The annual Nature Art and Photo Show has become a long-standing tradition at the Danada Fall Festival held annually at the Danada Forest Preserve on the second Sunday of October. Originally held at the Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve, it was moved to Danada in 1991 with the Friends of Danada co-sponsoring the event. Full responsibility for its undertaking was delegated to the Friends of Danada in 1992 with the District assuming a co-sponsorship position.  It has since been sponsored and financed by Friends of Danada.
