Lake in the Hills to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the village’s incorporation

By

LAKE IN THE HILLS — Starting Sept. 2 and going through Sept. 4, the Village of Lake in the Hills (LITH) will be hosting its annual Summer Sunset Festival.

The festival will be held at Sunset Park, located at 5200 Miller Road, and will mark the 70th anniversary of the incorporation of LITH, according to the Summer Sunset Festival Committee.

The committee plans to recognize the village’s major milestone throughout the celebration.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the Village’s 70th anniversary as we host the Summer Sunset Festival,” said Festival Chairperson and Village Trustee Diane Murphy in a press release statement. “Our end-of-summer celebration offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the Village’s strong spirit of community.”

Members of the Summer Sunset Festival Committee plan to host a carnival as in prior years, as well as include other festivities such as a wine tent, Rec2U Kids’ Zone, food and drink vendors, and live music that will be playing throughout the entire celebration.

Special events this year will include a car show, bags competition, craft fair and business expo, parade, and a fireworks finale that will take place that Sunday, which is the last day of the festival.

Admission to the festival is free, however, individuals are welcome to purchase food, drinks, and carnival wristbands, as well as purchase items that will be for sale during the Sept. 4 craft fair and business expo.

The festival’s main stage will provide a focal point for entertainment as various bands play throughout the weekend.

“The Summer Sunset Festival Committee is excited to recognize the 70th anniversary of the Village’s incorporation as we celebrate,” said LITH Village President and Festival Committee Member Ray Bogdanowski. “This year’s festival will be one to remember.”

Village officials state that local businesses have the opportunity to sponsor the festival through five sponsorship packages or a custom option to suit their promotional needs.

Additionally, community members are invited to volunteer to support the festival.
