Celebrate Mother's Day with 'Art in the Park' May 14

More than 20 artisans will be displaying their work at East Dundee's newest event, "Art in the Park," which will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 14, on the grounds of the Depot on River Street.

Visitors are invited to celebrate Mother's Day by strolling by booths displaying handcrafted jewelry, candles, custom-made woodwork, aromatics, wind chimes, one-of-a-kind lamps, clothing, and pottery.

Local musical group, Accidentally on Purpose, will set the mood with their jazzy soul sound.

Often referred to as the heart of East Dundee, The Depot on River Street has become the go-to destination for year-round community events.

The Depot and its surrounding grounds are host to weekly summer special events and markets that are designed to attract visitors to East Dundee's newly renovated downtown business district.

"Art in the Park" signals the beginning of the village's May schedule of special events that also includes a giant Community Garage Sale on May 19-20; Crawfish Boil May 21, and Motor Monday May 22.

The downtown plan for the village of East Dundee includes the creation of a business district including a mix of restaurants, retail and community events to serve as a destination attraction for both residents and regional visitors.
