Heroes
The Cicero Chamber of Commerce. Town of Cicero. City of Berwyn. Berwyn Main Street. All local business who take part and support this weekend. People who spread the word to everyone about Houby Fest. The long lost Cermak Plaza Spindle.
About me: Houby Fest began in 1968 to celebrate the predominant Czechoslovakian heritage of the area and the commencement of their traditional mushroom (Houby)-harvesting season, yes MUSHROOM.
The Cicero-Berwyn area has diversified with many wonderful cultures over time, and we aim to mix the old and new together for a continuously evolving celebration of the history of the neighborhood and its future. We make sure keep much of the Czech heritage alive in our entertainment, food and overall spirit.
