Hello from the Summer Sunset Festival organizing committee, and thanks for your interest in the 2009 event. This is the 9th year for the Festival which runs September 4, 2009 through September 6, 2009. The Festival has become a huge and popular community event.
You can bring the kids and enjoy events like the Parade and Kids' Korner. All ages will love the Tilt-a-Whirl, Ferris Wheel and other Carnival Rides, and we have several rides for the little ones, too. With or without the kids, come enjoy the Live Music on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights.

Stroll through the Craft Show on Saturday, with over 30 exhibitors of home-made, quality items, and come back Sunday and stroll through the Business EXPOsure to see what local businesses have to offer.

The Summer Sunset Festival is FREE to enter to enjoy live music every evening on the main stage and most other events. The only attractions you can spend money on are Food, Beverages, and the Carnival.

Be sure to be at Sunset Park on Sunday night for McHenry County’s best Fireworks show. Bring a blanket and some lawn chairs, because there is lots of room just south of the parking area to sit and watch the display, which will be almost directly overhead.

There is a lot more to do and see, check out the links at the top of this page and we hope to see you at the 2009 Summer Sunset Festival!

The Festival (and our website) are going GREEN!

Going "green" is rapidly becoming a nationwide movement to conserve energy, water, land and ultimately reduce global warming pollution. To help, we will have recycling containers throughout the festival grounds so you can help us go GREEN! Click HERE to see what else the village is doing to go GREEN!

Attention Arts & Crafters!

We are taking applications for our popular Arts & Craft Show. Don't wait too long as we have limited space and it fills quickly.

Click here to go directly to the Arts and Crafts page where you will learn more and find another link at the bottom of that page for an official application.

A crowd favorite year after year is the Melon Propellin' contest. We are already recruiting for the 2009 event. Click on the Smiling Melon for more information!
