In the quaint city of Oak Park, tradition takes center stage every third Saturday in September, as the community comes together for The Oak Park Moonshine Festival and Car Show. This celebration, born from the collaboration between The City of Oak Park and a dedicated group of volunteers known as The Oak Park Shiners, has evolved into one of the area's fastest growing and eagerly anticipated events. Contrary to its name, the festival isn't about promoting the consumption or sale of Moonshine. Instead, it pays homage to Oak Park's rich history. The primary goal of the festival is to raise funds for the restoration of a 100-year-old schoolhouse, a historic landmark that stands as a testament to the city's past.
Mark your calendar, as the festival promises a day filled with vibrant events and activities. The heart of the celebration lies in its diverse offerings, catering to the varied interests of attendees. Local live entertainment creates a lively atmosphere that resonates throughout the entire festival grounds.
