A Day In Our Village 2025
Welcome back to Scoville Park for the premiere summer event in Oak Park
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the incredible groups and organizations that have participated in this premier summer event over the years. This year, we celebrate 51 years of fun right here in Oak Park, IL!
Last year, we finally brought back the Foam, and I’m thrilled to announce that it’s here again! Special thanks to the Park District of Oak Park for making that happen. So grab your family, friends, and a towel, and join us at Scoville Park this Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM for an unforgettable day!
For me, this event marks the official start of summer. But none of it would be
possible without an amazing team of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to keep things running year after year:
• Greg Kolar has been hard at work securing spaces for over 140 local businesses and organizations showcasing their services.
•Cory Kohut has lined up a fantastic selection of restaurants and local delicacies in our food court near the library patio.
• Chris Edwards has searched far and wide to bring you a great lineup of live Yacht Rock theme music to keep you moving all day long.
• Bev Smith has been recruiting volunteers to ensure set-up is smooth and seamless
I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such passionate individuals who make this event so special, year after year.
Don’t miss our Ontario Street fun area this Sunday! We’re closing Ontario
Street from Oak Park Avenue to Grove Avenue to vehicles so you can enjoy even more activities. The Park District is debuting an exciting Prime Time Racing Activity, where four to six competitors can test their skills by racing two-foot-long radio-controlled cars on a banked 26-foot race track!
Now, we just need one more thing—YOU! Come out on Sunday and enjoy a fantastic day with friends, neighbors, and elected officials, all while soaking up the sun and the Foam, grooving to the music, and savoring everything Oak Park has to offer.
See you there!
