Wow Fest 2025

W.O.W. Foundation, Inc. (Working Outside The Walls Foundation, Inc.) is a community outreach program that focuses on our youth throughout the tri-city area with emphasis on education, training, development, and mentoring… all effecting change socially and economically. We believe that a quality education, a rich social and cultural environment, and a spirit filled lifestyle will foster a sense of family unity, personal development, and neighborhood solidarity. In preparation of the 2024/2025 school year, we will host the W.O.W. FEST Back To School Celebration on Sunday July 27, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Jeorse Park Beach at 3100 Aldis Street East Chicago, IN. This event is a family affair with free food, a wide array of vendors, a wealth of information from financial institutions, retail businesses, social service agencies, health serving agencies and a concert with various local and national artists. In addition, we annually distribute free book bags filled with school supplies; provide free immunizations shots, health screening, free haircuts and the always popular “Kids Fun Zone.” W.O.W. FEST has greatly increased in attendance and family participation since its beginning in 2008.
