Glen Ellyn's beloved Gator Mania is making a splash at Sunset Pool on Friday, June 12, 2026.

The festivities kick off at 6 p.m. with the thrilling Gator Race, where participants can adopt gators to support the Glen Ellyn Parks Foundation.

Following the race, from 6 to 8 p.m., the free, all-ages pool party will feature music, swimming, and games, promising an evening of fun for the entire community.

Adopting a gator not only adds excitement to the race but also contributes to a worthy cause.

Adoptions start at just $10, with prizes including a 2027 Sunset Pool Family Membership and Holes & Knolls Mini Golf passes up for grabs.

All net proceeds benefit the mission of the Glen Ellyn Park District to provide equal access to park programs, preserve open land, and improve recreational assets.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to enjoy a summer evening filled with community spirit and support for local parks.
