Title
Special Event Permit for Our Lady of the Holy Land Arab American Catholic Church Festival (500 people)
History
At the December 6, 2021, Board meeting, the Village Board approved an ordinance amending the Special Events Permit authorizing the Village Manager to approve events under 100 persons and requires Village Board approval for larger events. Special events held on Village grounds are processed through Recreation and Parks, while events held not on Village grounds are processed through Development Services.
Our Lady of the Holy Land Arab American Catholic Church has submitted a special event permit to have a festival Fourth of July weekend (July 4, 5, and 6). They will have food, live entertainment, beer and wine, and inflatable games for kids. The event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and will be located at the Former Andrew site at 10500 W. 153rd Street. They are expecting 500 people at any given time during the event.
Financial Impact
The organizer will be subject to all applicable permits, staffing, and rental fees.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve a special event permit for Our Lady of the Holy Land Arab American Catholic Church to host a festival on July 4, 5, and 6, 2025, contingent upon meeting all of the Village's permitting requirements, payment of fees, and inspections.
