As we explore the town, we'll visit Lombard's vibrant business community, guided by the Lombard Chamber of Commerce, and discover the charming local businesses that make this town unique. Whether you're visiting for the first time or considering making Lombard your home, you'll find something special here. And of course, no journey through Lombard is complete without experiencing Lilac Time, the town's signature celebration of its beautiful lilac blooms, which paint the town in shades of purple every spring.

About Lemon Town Films
Lemon Town Films was born from a spark of inspiration during Michael Fanter’s visit to Lemont, Illinois. He envisioned creating films that highlight the unique character of each town, featuring small businesses, local history, and the community spirit. Captivated by the town’s charm, history, and vibrant community, he saw an opportunity to showcase the essence of places rich with character and untold stories. As he brainstormed a name that captured this vision, he took “Lemon” and “T” from Lemont, and Lemon Town Films was born—a name that embodies both a sense of place and a fresh perspective on storytelling. Our films bring these elements together, offering an entertaining and informative glimpse into the heart of each community.
