As the warm rays of summer begin to blanket Lemont, excitement fills the air as the village gears up for its vibrant summer event season. During the recent Village Board meeting, the mayor enthusiastically shared updates on the community's upcoming festivities, highlighting the resilience and spirit of local residents.

While the anticipated car show was unfortunately canceled last Wednesday, the mayor reported a successful turnout at the Thursday soiree, where community members gathered to enjoy the lively atmosphere. “It was awesome to see everyone out again,” the mayor remarked, emphasizing the importance of these events in bringing the community together.

Looking ahead, the village is set to host a series of car shows every Wednesday evening through August 27, with the next event scheduled for June 11. This particular show will feature exotic cars and an expo night from 6 to 9 PM in downtown Lemont. Following that, June 18 will bring a special tractor and kids night, promising fun for families and car enthusiasts alike.

The mayor reminded residents that there will be no car show on July 2, as the village prepares for its grand July 3 celebration. For those eager to stay informed about all the summer happenings, the mayor encouraged visits to lamontdowntown.com and the Lemont Cruise Nights Facebook page for the latest updates.

As the meeting wrapped up, the anticipation for the upcoming Sunset Soiree on June 12, hosted by the Lemont Park District, added to the excitement of the season. With the promise of good weather and community spirit, Lemont is poised for a summer filled with joy and connection.
