VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK RECEIVES ($5000) LOCAL TOURISM GRANT TO PROMOTE

CENTENNIAL PARK WEST CONCERTS

Orland Park, IL (May 23, 2024) - The Village of Orland Park recently received a $5,000 Local Tourism Grant from Visit Chicago Southland to promote the Centennial Park West Concerts scheduled on Saturday, June 8, July 13 and August 17, at the new Centennial Park West outdoor concert venue at 15609 Park Station Blvd, Orland Park, IL.

“We are proud to bring top-tier acts to the new Centennial Park West Concert Venue for residents and guests this summer,” said Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau. “These concerts will be a great opportunity to get out and enjoy time with friends, family and the community.”

Visit Chicago Southland distributes up to $51,000 annually to Chicago Southland communities and not-for-profit organizations to promote events designed to draw visitors into the Chicago Southland region for overnight stays. These visitors contribute substantially to the Chicago Southland economy through stays in regional hotels, dining at local restaurants, shopping, recreational activities, and needed services travelers require, such as gas, oil, and sundry items.

“The Local Tourism Grant program is a way for Visit Chicago Southland to extend its marketing reach,” said Jim Garrett, CDME, President/CEO of Visit Chicago Southland. “The marketing efforts by our communities – in addition to marketing efforts by Visit Chicago Southland – help us better promote the many meeting facilities, group tour attractions, festivals, sports events and area attractions throughout the Chicago Southland to potential visitors.”

Concert tickets are available for purchase at universe.com. Tickets are $25 general admission (lawn seating) and $40 front of stage tickets (limited quantity). A discounted ticket package “THREE FOR ME” including one general admission ticket good for all three 2024 Centennial Park West Concerts (6/8, 7/13 & 8/17) can be purchased for $60.  All e-tickets will be sent via email and service fee will apply.

The 2024 Centennial Park West Concert Series is presented by Mazda of Orland Park. For more event information, visit orlandpark.org/concerts.
