Geneva French Market
Taking place on Sundays from 9 am to 2 pm, the French Market is a European-style market at the Metra Train Station parking lot.
The Kane County Cougars
Geneva has its own Minor League Baseball team, The Kane County Cougars, and the stadium holds close to 11,000. This is a great, laid-back place to watch a game, with tons of family entertainment, fantastic food and beer, as well as post-game fireworks.
Check out their schedule on their website, and if you're in town while they're playing I highly recommend taking in a game.
