The Annual WOW Fest is scheduled for July 30, 2023, at the Jeorse Park Beach located at 3100 Aldis St. East Chicago, Indiana from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This event is a family affair with free food, a wide array of vendors, a wealth of information from financial institutions, retail businesses, social service agencies, health serving agencies and a concert with various local and national artists. In addition, we annually distribute free book bags filled with school supplies; free haircuts and the always popular “Kids Fun Zone.” W.O.W.
