During Fiesta Days, you’ll enjoy delicious food from local vendors such as Chicago Classics, Chi-Town Dogs, Family Affair, Genoa Italian Concession, Jimano’s Pizza, Lee’s Concessions, MJ’s Coffee Bar, Old Town Pizza and Plum Garden; amusement rides; bike and car shows; the McHenry River Run; a parade; arts and crafts in the park day; the Shakespeare Festival; children’s ice cream social; musical performances from Puddle of Mudd, Queensryche, Great White with Jack Russell and others plus so much more. Special theme days will include family fun day and teen night.

Events are held at various locations throughout the area including Veteran’s Memorial Park, Petersen Park, McCollum Lake and McCracken Field. A majority of the events during the festival are free, but select concerts, shows and activities have fees, so be sure to check out www.McHenryFiestaDays.com for a complete schedule and pricing.
