The summer celebration kicks off on Friday with kid-friendly Libertyville Carnival provided by Liberty Savings Bank in Pinecone Regional Park.

Looking for an active way to enjoy the weather? After registering, participants can take part in a six-year tradition - The SummerFest 5K Run. 5K’s can be intimidating for inexperienced runners but never fear!
