The Des Plaines Summer Fling, scheduled from July 21-24th, showed community spirit at its finest. The northwest suburb (which is home to the first McDonald&#8217;s restaurant) rebranded its annual Taste of Des Plaines into a four day &#8220;Summer Fling&#8221; festival this year.<\/p>\n<p>There was an impressive music lineup on Friday-Sunday. Tons of activities for kids were available, so bringing the WHOLE family was encouraged! There were arts and crafts at the &#8220;Pearson Street Art Fair&#8221; and who could forget the food? Nothing brings together a crowd of people better than food and there was plenty of it, including the cuisine of popular local restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s festival was all about family, friends and neighbors. Lexington Park truly is located in the heart of one of the region&#8217;s most eclectic and cozy suburbs of Chicago. You&#8217;ll find tree-lined streets, a vibrant community composed of families and neighbors and a great combination of business and pleasure (which isn&#8217;t frowned upon!).<\/p>\n<p>If you missed out on the festival this year, not to worry. And whether you&#8217;re a Lexington Park resident or considering moving to the area, we highly recommend you see what we have to offer. Not only is Lexington Park a comfortable and friendly place to live, its surrounding area is pretty impressive, too.<\/p>\n<p>What more could you ask for?
