Unplug Illinois is a campaign created by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association that inspires people to unplug from their electronic devices and reconnect with play, friendship, creativity, adventure, and family. Agencies throughout the state are rallying behind Unplug Illinois Day by hosting events like outdoor fitness classes, camping, sports events, and many more electronic-free programs.
As part of Unplug Illinois Day, the Park District of Franklin Park is proud to host its annual Street Dance event, a cherished tradition that invites individuals of all ages to disconnect from their electronic devices and reconnect with the joy of community and outdoor festivities. This unforgettable event, offered completely free of charge, promises an evening filled with live music resonating through the streets, tempting aromas from local food vendors, and many free children’s activities designed to spark imagination and laughter.
Unplug Illinois Day isn’t just about one day of fun—it’s about enjoying life beyond screens all year long. It reminds us to get outdoors, be creative, spend time with loved ones, and appreciate nature. These are things that make us healthier and happier every day. Embracing these values year-round encourages healthier habits, enhances mental and physical well-being, and nurtures a sense of community.
