PrairieFest

The annual PrairieFest community celebration opened Thursday on the grounds of PrairieFest Park off Route 71 in Oswego and will continue through Sunday. The annual PrairieFest Parade through the village's downtown will step off at 1 p.m. Sunday, Father's Day.

Phil Vassar will perform for the PrairieFest crowd in Oswego on Saturday, June 18.

In a email, Laura Finch, director of marketing and customer service for the park district, said agency officials took the pandemic into account as they planned for this year’s delayed festival.
