TINLEY PARK, IL — The holiday season is nearly upon us here in Tinley Park. The village is now planning their annual Tinley Toyland Parade on Saturday, Dec. 4, and is looking to see who may wants to get involved.

The annual event will step off at 11:45 a.m. from the Vogt Visual Arts Center, 17420 S. 67th Court, and head north two blocks to North Street, ending in the north lot of the Oak Park
Avenue train station, according to the village. The parade will feature local school groups, sports teams, scouts and families in a tribute to Santa’s official arrival to Tinley Park.

To participate, those interested must complete the parade registration form and return it by Monday, Nov. 15 to vsanchez@tinleypark.org.
