Did you get to take a road trip this summer? If you joined us for the 2025 Heritage and Freedom Fest, you certainly got to experience the Great American Road Trip with thousands of O’Fallon neighbors on Main Street. With great festive floats – and for a first time –walking balloons!

O’Fallon Theatre Works keeps the hits coming. We heard wonderful reviews about Six: Teen Edition, and they are hard at work preparing for their next big show, The Curious Savage.

If you’re like me, you love the crisp fall air, so what better way to experience it than at Dames Park for Food Truck Fright. We love Food Truck Frenzy in Sports Park in the summer, now we can enjoy this spooktacular version on Friday, October 10 in Dames Park. For the first time, we’re featuring a film at this event.

This festive tradition is the perfect way for families to kick off their winter traditions. If the holiday season keeps you busy, take a break and join us for the 24th annual Celebration of Lights at Fort Zumwalt Park.

The City of O’Fallon welcomes adults and children with disabilities and is dedicated to providing recreation and health resources to the entire community.

Training Your Aging Brain
As adults age, their executive function may change and slow down, making it harder to analyze, plan, organize, schedule, and complete tasks. Simple things, like misplacing keys or phones, losing your train of thought, or struggling to follow conversations and remember names, can become more challenging. Seniors often find that tasks take longer to complete, including learning new things. Additionally, coping with change can become difficult, leading others to perceive them as “easily frustrated.” Join us to learn more about executive function, its impact, and strategies to stay engaged! #230723
