Just northwest of Chicago, this special little village retains all the character of its original farming community roots, with historic buildings, cobblestone walks and flowering gardens, set in a secluded rural atmosphere. And now, added to all the traditional favorites, Long Grove has an exciting new mix of attractions, offering contemporary goods and style, cool arts and entertainment, and festive spaces to fulfill the wishes of a whole new generation. For everyday shopping and dining or a mini-vacation, this is an easy "must-see" trip from anywhere in Chicagoland. Come back again and again, because there's always something new in Long Grove.

Long Grove is also known for its fun. Their full schedule of festivals and concerts are among Chicagoland's premier outdoor events. Chocolate Fest in May, Strawberry Festival in June and Apple Fest in September draw appreciative crowds, as do many other outdoor music and celebrations throughout the year. Activities continue right through the holidays with music, winter activities and world-class shopping.
