Party on at Randhurst Village Street Fest
Randhurst Village - the redevelopment of Randhurst Mall featuring more than 50 stores and restaurants at the intersection of Rand and Elmhurst roads in Mount Prospect - is bringing together local community groups, stores and restaurants, as well as special entertainment and presentations for a day filled with family-friendly fun at the third annual Randhurst Village Street Fest.
This free, one-of-a-kind outdoor event takes place from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday Sept. 8.
New attractions and a beer/wine area, sponsored by BlackFinn Ameripub, highlight the 2018 Street Fest, plus returning fan favorite band, 7th heaven. There's something for everyone with rides, inflatables, entertainment, food and classic cars from area collectors on display.
Forest View Elementary and Holmes Junior High School choirs will open the event at noon with the national anthem, followed by a medley of their favorite songs. Enjoy performances by the Mount Prospect Park District Dance Ensembles and Mount Prospect Cheer during the afternoon.
The finalists from the Daily Herald's Suburban Chicago's Got Talent contest, including winner Sea salt, will perform at 1 p.m.
