Do I have to register in advance?

The listings show a Register for Event option but do not say whether registration is required or give a deadline. Check with the Chicago Park District before going.

Is the Nov. 21 pie lesson part of Harvest Fest?

They are separate listings at Garfield (James) Park. The pie demonstration is scheduled noon–2 p.m.; Harvest Fest is listed noon–3 p.m. and advertises its own sweet potato pie demonstration among other activities.

Are the cooking demonstrations free and open to all ages?

Each demonstration listing shows a $0.00 event fee and an all-ages range. The separate Harvest Fest listing does too, though it does not explain whether individual activities have separate terms.
