Beat the heat Aug. 5 at MainStreet Libertyville's First Friday

What better way to celebrate summer! Downtown Libertyville's stores and restaurants invite you to see what's happening on the street!

From 6-9 p.m. Aug. 5 you will find music, wine tasting, food samples and special promotional events -- and it's all free!

"Like" Petranek's on Facebook and you will get 20 percent off all Melissa and Doug items.

There is live music at Forest Bootery and Parkview Gourmet; wine tasting at How Impressive and Viva Le Vine.

Celebrate the grand opening of Vital Points Therapy at 150 E. Cook. Begin your evening at one of the many restaurants, some with al fresco dining. The downtown shops and restaurants will be rocking with fun and you won't want to miss it. Parking is convenient - and free - in the covered parking garage on Lake Street. Or take the train - the Metra station is in the heart of the downtown.
