Champaign-Urbana Days (CU Days)

Celebrate Champaign-Urbana Days, a long-standing cherished tradition that brings our community together to honor shared heritage and culture!

This three-day event features live music, local cuisine, and a vibrant marketplace with community outreach vendors, nonprofit organizations, and merchandise vendors selling goods.

Kids can enjoy face painting, caricatures, balloon animals, and a variety of fun activities throughout the event.

Basketball fans won’t want to miss the CU All Stars tournament on the court.

Please note: no pets allowed, except for service animals.

We are giving away free school supplies at this year’s CU Days!

If you would like to contribute, we are accepting new and gently used school supplies like colored pencils, kids’ scissors, notebooks, folders, rulers, glue, markers and backpacks at the Hays Recreation Center between 9am and 3pm.
