#212 Joliet Star Wars Day 2026
Jun 800:33:45Tap to summarizeShow Notes for Ep: #212: Joliet Star Wars DayThe first Saturday in June turns the city of Joliet into a Galaxy far, far away as Star Wars Day returns, organized by the Joliet Public Library in partnership with the Joliet Museum, and the city of Joliet. Scores of volunteers help make this a terrific event for the whole family. The event kicks off with a parade of some of the best cosplay you’ll see in one place down Chicago street that turns at Clinton and ends up in front of the library, where an annual group photo is taken. Afterwards, both the library and Museum host authors, artists, makers, vendors and groups that certainly fill up the 11-3 time quite well. Outside on the streets, some of which are closed off, even more things to do, explore and eat under the Star Wars theme. This year JSDW returned to the library, as construction on the streets had finished. Last year saw it temporarily moved to Slammer’s Stadium a few blocks away. Also greeting visitors was a brand new City Square across from the library and the famous Rialto Theater which gives the whole downtown a wonderful place to gather and hold outdoor programs.This episode we run with some of the Red 5 Podcast network and talk to some of the artists, attendees and groups.Greg Schmidt (@schmidtngiggle) - InstagramMikey BabinskiMikey Babinski @mikey_babinski on InstagramSean Luke @sean_aw_luke on InstagramTodd HoffmanWSTR/BigTLilT Podcast @tizzzzod on Instagram, Twitter @WSTRmedia and @bigtliltpodcast WSTR/BigTLilT Podcast @tizzzzod on Instagram, Twitter @WSTRmedia and @bigtliltpodcast Chicago Jedihttps://chicagojedi.comNicole Markhenke Instagram @peacelovefandoms - @PL_Fandoms on X@red5readingRo Gazga - Scarifcon Scuttlebutt Podcasthttp://scarifscuttlebutt.comX: @ScarifPodcast@roGazga Instagram: @ro_gazhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScarifScuttlebuttPodcastFantha Tracks TV & Film reviews:https://www.fanthatracks.com/category/reviews/film-music-tv-reviews/If you have a question or comment, find me on the socials: Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky & Substack, @rebelbasecard Check out the TeePublic store and you can be helping out the show while finding some cool swag.
