In celebration of the 73rd Annual Lemont Keepataw Day Parade, three community organizations — Lemont Keepataw Day, Lemont Bank & Trust, and St. Matthew Lutheran Church — are teaming up to make this year’s festivities extra special. Together, they are hosting a contest that will grant one lucky winner six reserved seats on the lawn of St. Matthew Lutheran Church to enjoy the parade in style.
The iconic Lemont Keepataw Day Parade, a beloved hometown tradition, is set to step off at 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 31, 2025, during Labor Day weekend. Known for its vibrant display of community spirit, marching bands, creative floats, and local pride, the parade draws crowds from across the southwest suburbs each year.
“There’s something magical about watching the Keepataw Parade from the heart of Lemont, and we wanted to give one group a front-row experience,” said a spokesperson for the Lemont Keepataw Day Committee.
