Oak Park’s celebration of diversity and community involvement returns with the 51st annual A Day in Our Village festival on Sunday, June 1.
The premier community event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Scoville Park at Lake Street and Oak Park Avenue. More than 125 activity booths representing Oak Park civic, cultural, social service, educational, religious and business organizations will fill the park along with live entertainment and a food court featuring local restaurants.
The Park District of Oak Park is coordinating fun activities for kids, including the return of its bubble foam machine. Additional kids activities will be stationed on the north side of the park along Ontario Street. Park District officials suggest that families consider bringing towels or a change of clothes if their children plan to play in the foam.
