Lake Forest Day Draws Community Together

By Kristin Elliott Photography by Thais O'Malley

Lake Forest Day 2025 drew a large crowd of all ages for this beloved community tradition. Since 1908, the event has brought neighbors together to enjoy summer festivities - and this year was no exception.

The celebration kicked off Tuesday evening with a record-breaking turnout at the West Park carnival. The excitement continued Wednesday with the 5K Fun Run, a festive parade through the Central Business District and more rides and games in the park.

This annual event is proudly organized by Lake Forest American Legion McKinlock Post 264.

See you next year!
