At this time of year, we pull out our summer garb (if it still fits) and head outdoors to bask in the warm Lake County sun.
Lake County heats up in the summer months with outdoor activities, concerts, festivals, nature exhibitions, great food, live theater and so much more. Let's not forget two renowned golf tournaments are being hosted in our fair county.
Let’s take a look at Lake County’s top 10 things to do in June 2018.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the legendary American classic OKLAHOMA! We've reached our final week of the legendary show on the Lincolnshire stage. Fall in love with your favorite characters again, Curly McLain and Laurey Williams and the tale of the American frontier. The musical hit Broadway in 1943 and has graced over 2,200 stages. Rodgers & Hammerstein won a Pulitzer Prize for this show, and the production named after the Sooner State became an Academy Award-winning film adaptation in 1955. The show runs through June 10.
It's festival season in Lake County. The sun is out, the streets are over saturated with humans hunting for a party to cut a rug to live Spotify, exploring their palate for a bite of enchanting eats and drinks, seeking the thrills of a lifetime on all of the carnival rides and so much more.
The Chain O’Lakes is far from placid on Thursday nights during the summer. Thunder on the Chain features the unique world of drag boat racing from June-September hosted by Blarney Island on Grass Lake. If you have the need for speed on a ‘school night,’ witness these fearless racers competing in nine different classes from the Northern Illinois Drag Boat Association as they sprint for the gold. Thunder on the Chain fields races through September.
Who’s created the fastest vessel on in Lake County … made of cardboard? Grab your friends and set out to construct the speediest watercraft this side of the Mississippi. Don’t get stingy with the paper and glue, and remember creativity is a plus (even if it instantly sinks). “Shove right off” to Diamond Lake. Stick around for the Beach Bash and Ninja Warrior Competition hosted by the Mundelein Park District.
Speaking of Father's Day, Tempel Farms in Old Mill Creek is trotting into their 60th season. Since 1958, the glorious white stallions of Old Mill Creek have entertained audiences with their flying horse movements, four-horse ballet and other historical nuggets. Happy Born Day Tempel Lipizzans, the trustiest steeds in the land!
