IEi stands in solidarity with our neighbors to bring peace, love, joy, and hope to a community too often impacted by gun violence. Peace Fest is our time to celebrate us: our families, our friendships, our neighbors, our young people, and the village that keeps Greater Englewood strong. We affirm that our community deserves a safe, joyful, and peaceful summer.

​

Peace Fest 2026: The Proud Family Edition will take place on Friday, August 7th from 2PM to 6PM at the Peace Campus, 6400 S. Honore.

​

Inspired by the spirit of The Proud Family, this year’s celebration honors the village that makes Englewood strong: parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, neighbors, friends, and young people.

​

Bring the whole family out for music, food, art, healing resources, community connections, family activities, and back-to-school support as we help our young people enter the school year feeling celebrated and surrounded by community.

​

Peace Fest is more than a festival. It is a reminder that peace is built through relationships, care, culture, and community.
