Participants, volunteers and sponsors are being sought for the annual July 4th Parade. June 7 is the deadline to register to be in the parade, which attracted nearly 75 groups last year.
Local organizations and businesses are invited to bring a float, march, play music, carry balloons or banners, ride decorated bicycles, skate, drive vintage cars or just dress up to commemorate the nation’s birthday and to celebrate Oak Park’s rich diversity.
Registration forms are available at Village Hall, 123 Madison St., via e-mail to community@oak-park.us and on the Village website at www.oak-park.us/community.
The Community Relations Commission, which organizes the parade, also needs volunteers on the morning of July 4 to help monitor traffic crossings along the parade route.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses and organizations interested in helping support this year’s parade with money, goods or services. Call 708.358.5407 or e-mail community@oak-park.us for more information.
