Brighton Park Festival 2010 – Labor Day Weekend!
| September 4, 2010 | to | September 6, 2010 |
The Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council created “Brighton Park Festival” in 2008 to promote the economic viability of the Brighton Park and Archer Heights neighborhoods and foster community pride. In a short time, the BYNC has worked with other community leaders, elected officials, and the Chicago Police Department to develop Brighton Park Fest into one of the Southside’s most successful neighborhood festivals – boasting a variety of activities and attractions that entertain, educate, and enrich the whole family.
Carnival rides, games, pony rides, a petting zoo, food vendors, shopping, informational booths, and live musical and cultural performances come together to create a sense of fellowship and cooperation when community members join together in a positive and exciting atmosphere.
This year, the BYNC is celebrating the third anniversary of Brighton Park Fest, and we expect it be the most successful yet!

Community
The word “Community” has a lot of different meanings. According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, it’s:
- a unified body of individuals;
- the people with common intersts living in a particular area;
- the area itself;
- an interacting population of various kinds of individuals in a common location;
- a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society;
- a body of persons…having a common history or common social, economic, and political interests;
This section of our website is dedicated to sharing information about organizations, events, people, and news in our community. The BYNC encourages Back of the Yards residents to become engaged in their community by participating in the many events and community organizations in the Back of the Yards, and by becoming aware of the issues that shape our community.
