About Oak Forest, Illinois
Oak Forest is a city in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Human habitation in Oak Forest began during the early Holocene. This is made evident by the remains of hunting camps on what would become the grounds of the city's hospital. From 1987 to 2019 the city hosted Oak Fest. The festival, held in early July, featured music, carnival attractions, fireworks and more. In 2020 the commission responsible for the event dissolved and announced that after 32 years, Oak Fest would not continue. (Wikipedia)
