Oak Park-River Forest High School ‘Block Party’ leaves attendees asking for repeat next year, officials say

The Jade 50’s, made up of alumni from Oak Park-River Forest High School, perform during the “Community Block Party” event May 19, 2024 at the high school in Oak Park. Hundreds of people turned out Sunday for the community block party Oak Park-River Forest High School threw to mark the end of its 150th anniversary celebration, but school officials say the crowd wants the school to host the event again.

“The weather was perfect, dozens of alumni brought chairs just to hear the Jade 50’s, and the activity tables run by our students were constantly busy with young kids and even adults,” Sullivan said. Officials estimate that about 400 to 500 people were in attendance May 19, 2024 at the “Community Block Party” event hosted by Oak Park-River Forest High School and held on the school campus in Oak Park.
