Community events are one of the defining characteristics of Naperville. They offer residents and visitors an opportunity to experience entertainment, activities and cultural celebrations while also fostering Naperville's civic pride and community spirit. However, at times, these events can present challenges to residents and businesses. In 2018, a study was undertaken to assess the economic and parking impacts that events have on downtown Naperville. The study provides an overview of the history of special events in and around the downtown since 2009 and includes a limited economic examination of those events. A detailed analysis of special events and associated parking is included for 2016 and 2017, and events hosted at Naper Settlement, specifically Christkindlmarket, are examined.

This dataset is the result of an impact of analysis of special events in the downtown. The analysis found here (https://data.naperville.il.us/stories/s/nuvp-g4r9) investigates the impact of special events on the availability of parking and on tax revenues. This dataset covers the 2016 and 2017 calendar years. Each day includes information about any special events that took place that day, as well as impacts to parking at each of the three parking facilities in the downtown.

All special events approved by the City of Naperville from 2009 to 2018 and any relevant information about those events including name, type, time, date, and proximity to downtown. Each day of an event gets an individual record. Less details are available about events prior to 2016.
