The Community Lemonade Stand: Sweet Stories of Chicago Ridge

A free cup of lemonade and a story worth hearing. The Community Lemonade Stand is a summer pop-up series at Chicago Ridge Mall — select dates, community spotlights, and free lemonade for all.

Each pop-up Community Lemonade Stand will spotlight a community member doing great things, bringing good will, giving back in big ways, or overcoming obstacles. The featured guests will be present, and helping us Chicago Ridge Mall serve free lemonade during scheduled hours. Dates will be announced throughout the summer – follow along on our social channels or check back here for the next reveal.

June 19: Our Community Lemonade Stand opens with its first pop-up of the summer — Juneteenth! We’ll reveal our special guest soon. Mark your calendar to hear waht Juneteenth means to them – and what Chicago Ridge means to teh community they’ve built here while you enjoy a free cup of lemonade in a cup you can take home celebrating your part in 250 Acts of Community.
