VICTOR — What started as a simple idea for locals to celebrate locals has quickly grown into a community-wide event.
The first annual VictorFest takes place Friday, October 9, from 4–8 p.m. at Sherman Park. The event is free and open to all ages.
Think community picnic meets small-town field day meets harvest-season block party.
From skateboarding and bike competitions to live music, story time, Touch-a-Truck, local food and beverages, workforce housing tours, and plenty of Sherman Park Shenanigans, VictorFest is a casual celebration of the people, organizations, and community spaces that make Victor home.
"VictorFest really started with a simple idea: let's have an end-of-summer celebration of everything that's great about Victor," said Mayor Sue Muncaster. "Sherman Park brings together so much of what makes this community special, and we wanted an event that did the same thing.
"The response has been exactly what we hoped for: local organizations, businesses, and residents stepping up and saying, 'We want to be part of this.' Mostly, we want people to come out, have some fun, meet someone they don't know, and remember why we love living here," said Muncaster.
Four local acts will take the stage throughout the evening:
The bike and skate parks will be active throughout VictorFest.
