The picnic had been canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to coronavirus. In 2022, it was called off because of a lack of volunteers.

This year, visitors can once again nosh on hot dogs, cool off with ice cream and sip on refreshments in Castaldo Park. A beer tent will be set up for picnic goers who are 21 and older.

Kids can take a ride on a miniature train and play other games throughout the event. Later that day, you can head to the intersection of Lemont Road and 75th Street to watch the 2023 Woodridge-Downers Grove fireworks show.
