Glenview Summer Festival Set for June 27 Along Jackman Park

Over the last 4+ decades, Glenview’s Summer Festival has come a long way.

Now 42 years old, what started as a feisty sidewalk sale on Glenview Avenue has morphed into a multi-facted mid-summer celebration.

Scheduled for Saturday, June 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Lehigh Avenue between Glenview Road and Washington Street along Jackman Park, the free festival will offer “handcrafted wares, family activities, free treats, street performers, the Auto Show, and a little rock ‘n roll,” according to a news release.

Performances at Gazebo in the Park will include music from Full Grown Men, Rock House along with student performances from Terra Sound School of Music and Art, Sheila Tully Academy of Irish Dance, Dance and Music Academy and demonstrations from Championship Martial Art, Falcon Boxing Gym and Jazzercise Glenview.

Sponsors include Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Advocate Children’s Hospital, Glenview Bank and Trust, Glenview State Bank, Kraft Foods and NorthShore University HealthSystems.
