Executive Director Message

Jill Eidukas


As midsummer arrives, the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes community celebrations. On July 3rd, music and fireworks celebration for the 250th anniversary of the USA will be at Lisle Community Park. (check out the www.lisleparkdistrict.org for hours and festivities). Far from a sleepy summer lull, July highlights the Annual 4th of July Parade on Main Street, Lisle and the Ice Cream Social at The Museums at Lisle Station Park to bring families together and to bolster local small businesses. The Parade begins at 10:00am at Lisle Junior High School and Ends at Lisle Village Hall. Kids may decorate their bikes and participate in the bike line at 9:30-9:45am.


The Parade is hosted by the Lisle Park District, Village of Lisle, Lisle Police Department, Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District, Lisle Library District, and the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce. The Ice Cream Social follows the parade at 10:45am The Museums at Lisle Station Park, 921 School Street, Lisle. The Ice Cream Social is hosted by the Lisle Heritage Society with the Lisle Park District. Patriotic music will be performed by the Lisle Community Band. Ice cream will be provided by Culver's Downers Grove/Lisle while supplies last.


Thank you to State Representative Margaret DeLaRosa for visiting three Lisle Area Chamber member businesses last week. With State Rep. DeLaRosa, we visited Jennifer Rizzo Design Company, Past Presence Custom Framing, and Kaia Bowls Lisle.


Festivities drive foot traffic in Lisle and community entertainment. July kicks off with events that draw regional visitors directly into the commercial downtown area. Kiwanis hosts the Car Shows check their website for dates. Lisle Park District Summer Concert Series is an excellent way to spend an evening in the park. The Lisle Community Band meets to perform at the Lisle Community Bandshell. Check out their website for the dates. (www.lislecommunityband.org ).


 There is a lot to do in Lisle all summer long!
