Winter Wonderland Concert

Joe Kuckla and Irons in the Fire

The Town of Lyons will be hosting Joe Kuckla and Irons in the Fire, with live music in LaVern Johnson Park on Saturday, January 22, from 2 - 4 pm.

Thanks for the generous support from the Lyons Community Foundation for the winter concert series. The event is outside and we encourage folks to wear a mask. Sadly, it has been too warm for ice skating. We look forward to January 22nd!

Recreation Programs

No ice rink this year

Sadly Mother Nature has not cooperated with us this year. Due to continued periods of too warm weather the town will not be setting up the ice rink this winter. Our rink requires a minimum of a week of below freezing temperatures to set the ice properly and we haven’t had that or see it in the short term and forecast.
Although we won’t be skating, we do still plan to have the Winter Wonderland Concerts complete with hot chocolate and live music.
All ice skate lessons are cancelled and a refund will be issued to those via the Rec Desk program and site.

Girls Spring Recreational Softball for 1st through 12th grades is now open for registration. Get all the details and a link to sign up here: https://www.townoflyons.com/624/Register-for-Recreation-Programs
