BarrieFest gives southeast Oak Park a shared afternoon around local music and neighborhood businesses. Children’s activities and community information sit alongside food from nearby restaurants, giving different members of a group something to follow. Make it a park visit with room to wander and discover who is working in the neighborhood.
