Long Grove Strawberry Festival
The pleasures of summer are celebrated with strawberry treats at the Strawberry Festival set for June 24 through 26, 2011, in downtown Long Grove, Illinois.
Think: chocolate covered strawberries, fruit smoothies and other strawberry drinks, ice creams, strawberry donuts, baked goods and, of course, the farm-fresh berries themselves. There is free live entertainment all three days at venues all over town and most of Long Grove’s many shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants offer many varieties of strawberry-themed foods, drinks and merchandise.
Long Grove is located in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois — near Routes 53 and 83 just north of Lake-Cook Road.
