Get your FREE tickets NOW! No camping out overnight to wait in line for our fans. Just visit Eventbrite to register, and you’ll be ready to rock ‘n roll …
Our good buddies at the Mundelein Park & Recreation District will be offering craft activities for your little artists. They’re turning 60 years old this year, and they’ve still got the swagger like Jagger, baby! Come on down and wish them a “Happy Anniversary!”
Why we’ve even got your morning snack covered. Our generous sponsor, Whole Foods Market Deerfield, will provide snacks from their 365 Everyday Value® line of products to fuel your kids for a headbangin’ good time (Note: Little Lake County does not encourage and is not responsible for actual banging of heads)
The parking lot for Kracklauer Park is accessible from Seymour Avenue next to the Dance Studio located at 100 N. Seymour. There is no parking entrance off Route 45, but you may enter the park on foot from that side.

She appreciates good friends, good food, expensive shoes and parents who make two lanes in the drop-off/pick-up line at school. Her spirit animal is The Hobbit. She invites you to join her on her quest for unique distractions, diversions and deliciousness in this county we call home.
