Commercial Park Advisory Council

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor rain again will stop Santa from coming to our event! Don’t let the weather deter you- Santa will be inside the Commercial Park field house where it’s nice and warm. There will be hot chocolate and crafts and story time and hopefully the weather will cooperate for the bonfire and “snowball” fight. See you tomorrow!

Join us on Friday, December 9th from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. for our annual Santa & S’mores party at Commercial Park! We will have crafts, games, a bonfire, hot chocolate, and the Big Guy himself will be there for pictures and and taking gift requests. (Kids, ask for Squishmallows- adults have a hard time saying no!)

From November 15th until December 30th, the Commercial Park Advisory Council will be collecting new and gently used winter coats and gear to share with those in our community who are in need. A donation box is located in the entrance to the Commercial Park Field House. It’s a great time to clear out all the too-small kid stuff and the Orolay Amazon coat from five years ago!

Our annual Halloween Party and Parade will take place on Saturday, October 29th from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. We will have treats, games, crafts, and, of course, our costume trick or treat parade around the block!

If you’d like to volunteer to help out at the party, or with CPAC in general, please email us!

If you are a local vendor or business who would like to host an activity or craft table at the event, or hand out candy along the parade route, please email us!

If you just want to tell us we are awesome- well, we think you’re awesome too. Please email us!

Blocktoberfest is here! This Saturday, September 24th between noon and 4 p.m., take a break from West Town Chicago’s Art Walk and join us at Commercial Park for some neighborhood fun. We will have food from noon until 2 p.m. and an ice cream truck from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. There will be games, balloon art, entertainment, and (drumroll please) the Bounce House.

Suggested donation $10 per family; everything goes to the Commercial Park Advisory Council so we can keep supporting Commercial Park (and keep having fab parties!)
