The Special Events Commission consists of fifteen local members appointed by the Mayor with City Council concurrence. The group’s primary function, as outlined in a City ordinance, is to develop, promote and coordinate a series of community events for the enjoyment and education of both the residents of Des Plaines and visitors. Meeting at 7:00 pm on the first Wednesday of every month at City Hall, the Commission plans a calendar of events that includes several community oriented events.

The Commission continues to explore avenues to enhance the quality of life in the community. For additional information on the Special Events Commission, call the Office of the Mayor at 847-391-5301.
