"MADONNARI ON MAIN" - AUGUST 22-24, 2008

The Downtown Glen Ellyn Alliance DGEA(Retail Assoc.) in partnership with the Lions Club of Glen Ellyn, has created an Italian Street Painting Festival on South Main Street. This event will run in conjunction with the Festival of the Arts. Free transportation (an air conditioned Trolley) between venues and additional parking, allow visitors to get the most of Downtown Glen Ellyn and it’s many wonderful shops, restaurants and historic landmarks!

Artists of all levels and ages are invited to create masterpieces in chalk on Main Street.(Registration forms are available at stores, restaurants and the library). In addition, there will be a Free evening Party. Participants will enjoy food and drinks purchased at restaurants on Main between Hillside and Duane and be able to bring them out to South Main Street while they view the Italian Street Paintings, meet artists from the Festival, enjoy a variety of music, all in the company of friends and neighbors.

In order to produce an event worthy of the overwhelming support by the Village of Glen Ellyn, it is imperative we orchestrate the details quickly and flawlessly. Doing so will require many volunteers. Below are the positions and times available. Can we count on your help?

The Holiday events are in the beginning planning stages and I am very excited about what the DGEA is bringing to the community in order to encourage them to do their shopping and gathering in Glen Ellyn! Which is our job of course...
