2026-05-26 Village of Villa Park Villa Fest Subcommittee Meeting

The Village of Villa Park held a Villa Fest Subcommittee meeting on May 26, 2026, primarily focused on planning and budgeting for the upcoming Villa Fest event. Key procurement-related discussions included the confirmation of vendor contracts such as bands and garbage disposal services, sponsorship funding which was reported at $2,140, and the allocation of a $30,000 budget for the event. The committee debated whether to hold the event this year or postpone it to next year due to limited information and logistical challenges. They ultimately voted to proceed with the event as a one-day festival. The subcommittee also discussed vendor outreach, marketing materials procurement including yard signs at a reduced cost, and sponsorship banners with a firm deadline for sponsor commitments. Additionally, they addressed operational needs such as porta-potties, ice supply logistics, and volunteer coordination. The meeting concluded with plans for more frequent meetings to finalize details and a commitment from the village board liaison to support the subcommittee in overcoming administrative hurdles.
