In celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, the Village of Orland Park is proud to introduce the Red, White & Blue BBQ Fest & Parade. This exciting new event will feature a community parade, amateur rib cook-off, live entertainment, children’s activities and a variety of food trucks. The festivities will culminate in a spectacular pyro-musical fireworks display beginning around 9 p.m. “The Village wanted to add a special event to Memorial Day weekend to not only signify the start of summer, but also kick-off the celebrations of America 250,” said Orland Park Mayor Jim Dodge. The event kicks off with a patriotic Red, White & Blue parade, running down Jillian Road and Park Station Boulevard at 10 a.m. Following the parade, the event will showcase a dynamic lineup of live performances, including Cadillac Groove (R&B, funk, rock, soul and blues), Nashville Nation (country) and Tramps Like Us (Bruce Springsteen tribute). Attendees can also enjoy inflatable bounce houses, children’s crafts, food and beverage vendors featuring America 250-themed specials and onsite sponsor giveaways. As part of the day’s events, the Village is hosting its first-ever Amateur Rib Cook-Off Competition. Backyard grillers and barbecue enthusiasts alike will showcase their best recipes in a fun and friendly competition.
