The Memorial Day Parade & Carnival/ Fun Run and Walk is slated for May 26, with the parade kicking off at Groves High School and stopping at Beverly Park. The Memorial Day Ceremony will be around the flag pole in Beverly Park at 1 p.m.

There will be free coffee and live jazz from the Ryan Bills Trio on the third Sunday of the month from May to September from 9 a.m.-noon.
The community is invited to join the Movie in the Park event on Aug. 21 at dusk. The movie has not yet been announced.
“It is super important to the village to provide a source for people to have things to do all summer, spring and fall,” said Tom Trice, the interim village manager. “We try to be as family-friendly as we can be and provide everybody with what they want.”
