Vintage Days Return to Historic Downtown Long Grove August 6 - 7

The annual Vintage Days festival will return to historic downtown Long Grove the weekend of Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7.

Organized by the Historic Downtown Long Grove Business Association, this throw-back celebration bridges yesterday with today, featuring all things vintage, reclaimed, hand-made, upcycled, antique, and repurposed in an open-air marketplace. The free event gives everyone from the vintage collector to the vintage admirer a plethora of enduring products they can't find anywhere else - under the summer sun in the heart of timeless downtown Long Grove. In addition to dozens of vendors lining the street, Vintage Days also features classic summertime drinks, treats, live music, and family activities.

The new and improved historic downtown Long Grove, now construction-free after a multi-year beautification rehab, is known for its wide array of independent, family owned and operated restaurants and stores. Vintage Days marks the end of summer shopping season in town, with local merchants featuring final summertime specials and sales throughout the event. Visitors during fest weekend are invited to explore the recently beautified village and discover what has made downtown Long Grove so beloved for so long.
