OAK LAWN, IL — Oak Lawn’s annual fall frolic, canceled last year due to pandemic, is coming back in 2021.

The 2021 edition falls on Sept. 10, Sept. 11 and Sept. 12, at 95th Street and Cook Avenue.

In addition to live music, the fest features a food tent featuring local restaurants, beverage tent, a craft tent, business tent, teen and children’s activities, trivia, bingo and more.
