SummerTime Fun in Lemont Downtown
Lemont Downtown is proud to be the host for so many of your favorite summer traditions. Plans or no plans, we love to see folks “Lemont-ing’ around town – grabbing lunch at Digs on Canal to have prime people-watching views at Budnik Square, cooling off by grabbing an ice cream at The Creamery or popping into a boutique for a mini wardrobe refresh.
If you’re looking to add some more fun to your calendar, we’ve got you covered.
