GETTING TO GRAYSLAKE SUMMER FEST
Grayslake Summer Fest takes place in the parking lot (LOT G) behind the Village Hall and Police Department—located between S. Whitney Street and Seymour Avenue, just south of Center Street (Cty A27).
Directions:
From Center Street, head south on either Whitney Street or Seymour Avenue to access the festival area. The event is centrally located in downtown Grayslake, making it an easy walk from nearby parking and local businesses.
Parking:
Free public parking is available throughout downtown, including multiple municipal lots and street parking along Center Street, Slusser Street, Hawley Street, Seymour Avenue, and Whitney Street . Most parking is just a short 3-minute walk or less to the festival grounds. Be sure to check posted signs for any time limits.
Important Note (Parade Closures):
A parade will begin at 1:00 PM CST, and Center Street along with surrounding parade routes will be temporarily closed until the parade concludes. Please plan ahead, allow extra time for arrival, and consider parking outside the immediate downtown area if arriving during that window.
Check out the parking map to find the most convenient lots and walking routes—we look forward to seeing you at the fest!
