According to the Naperville Police Department, Ellsworth Street will be closed to traffic between Franklin Avenue and Benton Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 23. The closure is scheduled to accommodate St. Peter and Paul Church’s Homecoming Fest, which is expected to draw large crowds to the downtown area.
