What's a Fleadh? An Irish festival, of course!
The Oak Forest-Crestwood Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of Oak Forest, will host the 3rd Annual Oak Forest Fleadh (pronounced "flah") on Saturday, March 10 on Cicero Avenue between 151st Street and 159th Street. The Fleadh – Gaelic for "festival" – will include customer appreciation parties, a 5K race, an open bike ride, a family parade, and a pub and restaurant open house.

St. Damian Food Pantry Food Drive at the 5K
The shelves at the St. Damian Food Pantry start to go bare in March, which is why we are asking every registered runner to bring at least one non-perishable food item to the Fleadh 5K. In particular, the food pantry needs jelly, peanut butter, pasta sauce, and cereal. The food pantry benefits Oak Forest families in need. Thank you in advance for your support.
Family Parade - We reversed the route!
The parade will kick off at 11 a.m. from 157th Street and travel along Cicero Avenue to 151st Street. Families, businesses and community, school and religious groups are encouraged to participate in the parade.
