A great day for Summerfest

The Villa Park Parks and Recreation Department held Summerfest 2022 on Saturday, June 18, in the Ardmore Business District at Ardmore Avenue and Park Boulevard. This year’s celebration, which took place in ideal weather conditions, was the village’s first Summerfest since 2018. The 2019 event was rained out. The 2020 and 2021 Summerfests were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s festival included food, a beer garden, live music and an array of inflatable stations for children. One photo from this year’s Summerfest shows (left to right) two young Villa Park residents—Autumn Altieri (age 3) and Vince Seils (age 5)—on an inflatable slide.
