Northbrook Park District announced Party on the Green, a free, all-ages outdoor event is being held on Aug. 17.
According to a news release, the annual family event starts at 4 p.m. on Aug. 17 at Village Green Park, 1810 Walters Ave. in downtown Northbrook. There will be live music, fun games, delicious food and beverages, and a showing of an animated movie at dusk for people to enjoy.
There will also be games and giveaways for people of all ages, the release said. The Landmark Inn Bar & Grille, a Northbrook favorite, will offer hamburgers and hotdogs, plus a variety of beers, hard seltzers, soda, and water, all for purchase.
“This is such a fun, free community event for all ages, with entertainment that will please everyone,” Northbrook Park District Recreation Manager Nancy Eschker said in the release. “Whether you just come for the music or stay until the movie at dusk, you are certain to have a good time.”
Two bands will perform on stage: The Wayouts, whose repertoire consists of groovy 60s garage rock hits, and Maggie Speaks, whose lineup features high-energy covers, from old-school classics to modern pop hits.
The evening will conclude with a showing at the park of the movie “Trolls Band Together,” a 2023 animated jukebox musical comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation.
