The Village of Orland<br />
Park’s community events<br />
calendar fills quickly once<br />
all of the summer schedules<br />
are announced. Memorial<br />
Day Weekend starts<br />
the summer fun in Orland<br />
Park, beginning the Village’s<br />
packed season of<br />
events, music, festivals<br />
and more.<br />
“We officially welcome<br />
summer to Orland Park<br />
Memorial Day Weekend,”<br />
said Orland Park Mayor<br />
Keith Pekau. “The Village’s<br />
Centennial Park<br />
Aquatic Center will open<br />
for the season and we<br />
gather as a community to<br />
remember those who made<br />
the ultimate sacrifice at the<br />
village’s Memorial Day<br />
Ceremony.”<br />
The names of veterans<br />
who have been added to<br />
Orland Park’s memorial<br />
are announced as each veteran<br />
stands and waves to<br />
the applauding audience.<br />
Friends and family stand<br />
for those being posthumously<br />
honored.<br />
Orland Park’s ceremony<br />
will be held at 1 p.m.<br />
Monday, May 27, at the<br />
Veterans Memorial, 14700<br />
S. Ravinia Ave. Attendees<br />
are encouraged to bring<br />
lawn chairs.<br />
Orland Park’s Market<br />

evenings, May 30-July<br />

Park, at 9705 W. 142nd<br />
St., adjacent to the 143rd<br />

“Orland Park has a rich<br />
history of community<br />
events that bring everyone<br />
together,” said Trustee<br />
Jim Dodge, chair of the<br />
Village’s Recreation and<br />
Parks Committee. “What’s<br />
nice about the Village’s<br />
events is people running<br />
into friends and neighbors<br />
they haven’t seen<br />
in a while, seeing people<br />
from when their kids were<br />
younger. The reunion aspect<br />
of the Village’s events<br />
creates a great community<br />
atmosphere for residents<br />
of all ages.”<br />
Market at the Park also<br />
includes different food<br />
trucks each week, free<br />
lawn games, beer and wine<br />
for purchase, and will feature<br />

each week from 6-7:30<br />
