Maple Park Fun Fest is will take place Saturday August 31st and Saturday September 1st!

Maple Park Fun Fest is a classic small town festival geared for big time entertainment. Founded in 1998, Fun Fest began as a local softball tournament, but a committed few realized the potential and wanted more. They began to expand, adding a parade and fireworks; eventually leading to what we see today. Over the years, Fun Fest has added a Craft Show, Car Show, Bags Tournament, Kids’ Bike and Wagon Parade, live entertainment, food vendors, 5K race/2 mile walk, and the Kid Zone, loaded with activities.

Fun Fest is a not-for-profit event, run completely by volunteers. Funds raise are mainly used to support the festival the following year, but also purchases items for the village of Maple Park. This past year, the Fun Fest committee updated all of the Christmas lights for the village. Currently, they are discussing the possibility of starting a scholarship for a college bound Maple Park resident.
