It’s Pan-O-Prog Time!

The 47th annual Lakeville Panorama of Progress, better known as Pan-O-Prog, gets rolling this week.

Below is a primer for what you need to know to attend the events that make up Lakeville’s summer festival. Information for this primer is from the Pan-O-Prog website.

WHAT IS PAN-O-PROG?

Panorama of Progress, or PAN-O-PROG, as the weeklong festival is commonly known, began largely due from the success of the development of Lakeville's Airlake Industrial Park. Sensing the future growth of the city, community leaders looked for a way to observe. Since 1967 Lakeville has been celebrating its successes as PAN-O-PROG!

Over 50 celebrations, events and activities take place during the week of July 4. By the masses, residents line up to watch the grand parade, classic car cruise and 4th of July fireworks!

Other impressive events include tournaments, pageants, battle of the bands, cookouts, orchestra in the park, crafts, outdoor dances pet and talent shows, medallion hunt and all varieties of entertainment! There is something for all age groups and food for all tastes.

WHEN IS PAN-O-PROG?

Most events are held between July 4 and 14. However, there are a few preliminary events.

WHERE IS PAN-O-PROG?

Events are conducted at a variety of locations throughout Lakeville.
