Celebrate McLean

Thursday– August 29 – 4:00-6:30

We are excited to announce our annual Celebrate McLean festival on Thursday, August 29, from 4-6:30pm at McLean High School.  This vibrant community event is filled with fun for all ages. Enjoy a lively atmosphere with a live DJ, delicious food trucks, engaging games including a moon bounce obstacle course, and much more.

Celebrate McLean also serves as a great opportunity for future and existing Highlanders to learn more about student clubs, activities, and our athletic teams. It’s a perfect way to kick off the evening before heading to support our McLean Varsity football team as they take on Meridian at 7pm right after the festival. Join us and celebrate our community and cheer on our team for an unforgettable night! Admission is free to Celebrate McLean.
