ORLAND PARK (July 17, 2019)-The Village of Orland Park's annual Taste of Orland Park, presented by Palos Health and Loyola Medicine, returns to the Orland Park Village Center August 2 to 4.

Showdown, Kids' Day, a car show, the Orland Park's Got Talent finals, a new Harry Potter themed trivia contest and live entertainment on two stages.
"The Taste of Orland Park is THE event of the summer in Orland Park," said Trustee Jim Dodge, chair of the village's Recreation and Parks Committee. "People look forward to the Taste of Orland Park every year," he said. "It's a great way to sample dishes from some the best restaurants in Orland Park, hear great music and participate in family-friendly activities."
