|  | PISTAKEE BAY FIREWORKS AT CAROL'S HOUSE
When: Saturday 07/06/2024 7:00 PM, CDT
Where: 3215 N Bayview Lane, McHenry, IL
Event Details: We have a GREAT vantage point for the Pistakee Bay Fireworks. This show has been amazing the last few years.
Fireworks start after dusk, but the show starts earlier as the boat congestion happens. I recommend driving to my location rather than boating, since there will be so many boats to contend with on your return home!
Please bring your own drinks and a dish to pass. We are purging a few chairs on the porch, so you may want to put a chair in your car, just in case. I will spray the bushes around the porch for mosquitos, and you may want to pack your favorite brand of bug spray as well.
Call me with any questions, 414 364 0485
Hope to see you.
Carol | 2024 Rosemont Concerts in the Park
Here is the 2024 schedule of concerts at Rosemont’s Entertainment District. All concerts are free and parking is free with a validated parking ticket done at any of the restaurants in the park. Bring a chair and leave coolers at home. The 7 restaurants have booths that sell their small bites and beverages (alcohol, non alcohol and water). There are fireworks after each concert. If anyone is interested in coming to any of the bands below, let Alouise Gredell know at 847-975-5722 at least a few hours before. It gets crowded. She will most likely attend all of them weather permitting. There are more concerts scheduled but, Alouise probably not attend them.
7/11 - Ticket to the Moon (ELO cover) very good
7/18 - Departure (Journey cover)
7/25 - Live the Who
8/8 - Rumors (Fleetwood Mac)
8/15 - Echoes of Pompeii ( Pink Floyd) they are good.
