The City of Berwyn Mayor Robert J. Lovero, Cicero Town President Larry Dominick and Berwyn Main Street present to you the 43rd annual Houby Day Festival and Parade on October 1-2, 2011. Berwyn will bring back a piece of Berwyn's cultural heritage to the Houby Festival for the FIFTH year, by transforming a portion of Cermak Road into a Czech Oasis, featuring vendors serving Czech specialties, live entertainment, artists and offering family activities. The oasis will be located at the intersection of Lombard Avenue and Cermak Road.

Saturday will host live Czech entertainment. On Sunday, take part in the annual Houby Parade and stick around from live music from American English (Beatles Tribute Band) and Infinity (Journey Tribute Band).

Houby Day began almost 43 years ago as a Cermak Road Business Association event to bring people to the then-thriving businesses along Cermak Road in Berwyn and Cicero. To create a theme for the Fall event, the founders chose the Czech tradition of houby (the Czech word for mushroom) hunting. Given the Czech-American presence in Berwyn at that time, the choice was logical - but inspired.
