This fun-filled, family-oriented event is designed to encourage collaboration and companionship among the residents, businesses, and civic organizations that comprise Fairview Park and surrounding communities.

The first Fairview Park Family Summerfest was organized in 1992 by a group of dedicated residents, building upon Fairview Park’s historic Candy Parade. The festival was intended to provide the churches, schools, clubs, and civic organizations of Fairview Park an opportunity to introduce themselves to the community and raise funds for their individual projects. The first Summerfest was held at Bohlken Park where it remains 26 years later.
