Sun, Sips & Sounds: Glenview’s 49th Summer Fest

The excitement is building as Glenview prepares to host its 49th annual downtown Summer Fest! Get ready for a weekend of fun, food, and festivities as the big event draws near. Don't miss out on the celebration! This perennial Glenview favorite event takes place Saturday, June 21^st, bringing in 100+ exciting vendors including 11 food vendors, booths, free games, health services, home enhancements, gift ideas, and a range of delectable foods & beverages for every taste bud! This event comes to life on two village blocks of Lehigh, from Glenview Road to Washington, welcoming thousands of Glenview friends and families for a full day to remember! 

Summer Fest Day is from 9am – 3pm, and features a variety of local businesses, services and unique products – including a special kids’ area with balloon artists, carnival-style games,  face painting, fire pole and much more – making it a full, best-of-Glenview day to remember!  “This event has changed over the years with different locations, different vendors and a different name but the goal has always been to connect our local businesses with the community. We love to see new faces, as well as old friends,” says Glenview Chamber Executive Director, Meghan Kearney.  “New this year will be a pet adoption where attendees can meet and greet with lovable dogs looking for their forever homes. Also new, is a composting area to collect food and biodegradable waste. This is an opportunity to learn about the benefits of composting and recycling and creating a more sustainable and green Glenview,” she shared.

At 6pm, the street fair transforms into Summer Fest After Sunset Music Fest!! Free to the public, showcasing local favorites headliner SWEENEY and opening act HEARD IMMUNITY to keep the energy flowing with play for thousands of music fest aficionados young and old!

“Summer Fest After Sunset will have fun surprises,” revealed Meghan, “with amazing food vendors, Beer, Wine and Seltzer including COORS LIGHT and more will be available for purchase during the outdoor evening show.”  As a free public event, with a door donation benefiting Northfield Township Food Pantry, Summer Fest and Summer Fest After Sunset are funded by our generous Chamber sponsors, including:  Busey Bank, Carbliss, Coors Light, Endeavor Health, RJ Bullion, Joseph Mullarkey Distributors, Lynch McPeek Wealth Management, DDK Kitchen Design Group, Illinois Bone & Joint Institute, Glenview Junior Titans and Jet’s Pizza.
