 Skydive Chicago Summerfest: July 25 - August 2 2009

Skydive Chicago's Summerfest is the summer boogie to be at!  This year will mark the 9th annual Summerfest, an event that continues to grow with each passing year.  This year will be even bigger and better.  The first weekend we will have 100-way RW sequentials, followed by wingsuit 40-ways during the week and, to top it off, a 100-way headown world record attempt the last weekend!  As always there will be plenty of aircraft to choose from, world class organizers for all levels, vendors, and events to keep you moving all day and night!  Come see for yourself what all the talk is about.

Plans are still in the works so check back for updated information!
