4 Days of Family Fun!

Lakeside Festival, also known simply as FEST is the largest and longest running Festival in McHenry County!

Live Music, Carnival, Food & Drinks, Cornhole Tournament and more!

This year brings a whole new guest experience...We have eliminated the Drink Ticket Booth/Line which means you will head straight to the "One Stop Drink Tent" to order and receive your drinks...ALL IN ONE PLACE!

Goodbye confusion...Hello convenience!

FEST opens at Noon -11pm except Sunday concludes with Fireworks at 10pm.
