Several aldermen and community representatives used their council reports to list summer events, parish festivals and back‑to‑school resource fairs taking place across Calumet City this month and into August.

A parish representative said the merged Calumet City Catholic parishes are hosting “Shepherdfest” Aug. 15–17 at Our Lady of Knock and described music, food and a car show. “The dates are the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth,” the representative said.

Alderman Phillips and Alderman Wilson announced neighborhood events: an Ashlar block party on July 26, multiple back‑to‑school resource fairs (examples cited included July 26 for District 149, July 27 the Calumet City Chargers Family Fest, Aug. 1 at All Nations Church, Aug. 9 at Lincoln Elementary partnership, Aug. 17 the rescheduled city back‑to‑school picnic at Downey Park, Aug. 23 a Sixth‑Ward fair for Hoover and Schramm, and Aug. 30 a First Ward block club party). Aldermen listed phone numbers and RSVP contacts for residents and said they would post event details on social media and their websites.

Most announcements were informational; no council funding approvals or formal motions related to these events were made during the meeting. Organizers and aldermen encouraged residents to attend and to contact ward offices for additional information.
