2022 Press Release!

ANOTHER AMAZING YEAR, 2022 NORTHBROOK DAYS FESTIVAL RAISES MONEY FOR LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS

November 2022 – NORTHBROOK, IL – The Northbrook Civic Foundation and its Northbrook Days Festival Committee announced today that the August 2022 festival, the foundation’s annual fundraiser, netted just under $75,000 for college scholarships and local community grants.

“Each year, the Northbrook Civic Foundation funds need-based college scholarships for students from Northbrook and grants for organizations that serve our community,” the website states.

It was the second year with the festival back in downtown Northbrook – the west lot of the Northbrook Metra Train Station – and it was a great success. Even with extremely hot weather on the last day of the festival, the five-day festival was a financial success, drawing big crowds each day.

New this year were cash only self-service kiosks to purchase tickets, monitored entrances/exits and enhanced security. The schedule included a bags tournament, live entertainment daily, festival fare, community and sponsor booths plus carnival rides. The event also featured the popular Special Friends Morning.

The foundation has already started planning the 2023 Northbrook Days Festival. Next year’s Northbrook Days Festival is scheduled for August 2-6, 2023.

The Northbrook Civic Foundation wishes to thank the community and its many generous festival sponsors (http://northbrookdays.com/sponsors/) for their support. Additional thanks go to the Village of Northbrook, the Northbrook Police Department, the Northbrook Fire Department, and the Northbrook Park District for providing logistical support. Without the backing of volunteers and sponsors, the festival and the donations that come from it would not be possible.

Organized solely by volunteers, Northbrook Days is a summer tradition that brings our community together, while a testament to local generosity. Each year the festival features local food and drink, exciting carnival games and rides, big ticket raffle prizes, and exciting live music. Northbrook Days is the only annual fundraiser for the Northbrook Civic Foundation, which has been supporting the local community for more than 100 years.

Over the years, the Northbrook Civic Foundation has provided grants to many Northbrook non-profit and social service agencies, such as the Northbrook Public Library, CATCH - Community Action Together for Children's Health, GBN Grad Night, Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook, Northbrook Community Nursery School, Northbrook Historical Society, Northfield Township Food Pantry, Josselyn Center, Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA) and Northbrook Baseball. If your non-profit organization serves the citizens of Northbrook and needs grant support, please visit our Project Funding page (http://northbrookcivic.com/project-funding/) and consider submitting a Foundation Grant Request.
