Lake Forest Day
Volunteer for Lake Forest Day 2026

Sponsored by American Legion McKinlock Post No. 264, Lake Forest Day is back on August 5, 2026, celebrating our welcoming community with a parade, carnival, food, music, games, family activities, and more!
Volunteer opportunities are now open and are a fun way to get involved, support a long-standing community tradition, and earn volunteer hours along the way.
Come be part of one of Lake Forest’s favorite summer traditions!
March in the 2026 Lake Forest Day Parade!

Lake Forest Day is right around the corner, and families are invited to be part of the fun by marching in the parade on August 5, 2026!
Whether you’re walking with friends, decorating bikes and wagons, or simply showing your school spirit, the parade is a great way for students and families to celebrate the Lake Forest community together.
