What is happening in River Forest.

School dates, public meetings, library programs, Trailside walks, and concerts and games across both campuses. Right now: 460 upcoming entries from 17 sources. Some sources publish a calendar we retrieved and checked. The rest were read from each organization's own web pages. You choose which ones you see.

Research edition · public sources checked September 19, 2026, with corrections and additions on October 29, 2026 · research window through September 18, 2027, with the latest dated entry on July 5, 2027

One thing worth knowing: everything here is copied from what each organization published. If their calendar has a date wrong, ours will have it wrong too. Always worth a quick look at their page before you head out, and do tell us if you spot something off.

A published closure notice, not an event to attend.

Who
All library users
Organizer
River Forest Public Library

What it carries

  • 01

    Schools

    District 90's calendar and those of its three schools, Trinity, St. Luke and, if you switch it on, the performing arts season at Oak Park and River Forest High School. Nonattendance days, early dismissals, conferences and admissions events, alongside clubs, concerts and games. How far ahead each school has published varies.

  • 02

    The library

    Storytimes, after-school programs, book clubs, film screenings, classes for adults, and the closure notices worth knowing before you walk over.

  • 03

    Village and public meetings

    The Village Board of Trustees and the Village's boards and commissions, as the Village posts them, along with Village Hall closures. Park District, library and District 90 board meetings sit here too, so every public meeting is in one place.

  • 04

    Outdoors

    Trailside Museum walks and animal programs, restoration workdays and other programs in Thatcher Woods, and Park District events.

  • 05

    Campus and arts

    Talks, performances and home games at Concordia and Dominican, Consonance concerts, and the Bach Cantata Vespers and other programs at Grace Lutheran.

Where this stands

The calendar was researched for the twelve months from September 19, 2026, and corrected and added to from the organizers' own pages on October 29, 2026. Today it holds 460 upcoming entries from 17 sources; an entry drops off the day after it ends. River Forest Township, River Forest Community Center and Grace Lutheran School produced no dated entries that could be verified, which is not the same as having none. Coverage is partial everywhere: this is what was found, not everything that exists.

Nothing here updates on its own yet. Of the 17 sources with something ahead, 8 publish a calendar we retrieved and checked, and 9 were read off web pages and typed in. Either way, we are copying what the organizer published. If they posted a date wrong, or moved something and did not say so, it will be wrong here too. Their page is always the last word, and if you spot something off we would genuinely like to hear about it.

Entries are compiled from each organizer’s own public listings and restated here, with a link to the source on every one. Dates, rooms and registration all change without notice, and the organizer’s posting governs. This is a researched calendar, not a live booking system, so check anything that matters before you plan around it.
