“Although we continue to monitor the current environment and plan accordingly, we also have to plan for a phased reopening of the local economy, getting people back to work, and enjoying all of the great things that Orland Park has to offer," Mayor Keith Pekau said in the news release, as reported by The Chicago Tribune.
The first festivity is The Market in the Park, scheduled for June 4. It's open to the public and has food and drink availability.
