Summer Street Market in Downtown Long Grove

Vintage, Antique, Crafts, Reclaimed, Repurposed, Upcycled and Handmade
The annual Vintage Days festival will return to Long Grove on Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28th. Organized by the Historic Downtown Long Grove Business Association, this fun-filled, throw-back celebration bridges yesterday with today. It will feature all things vintage, reclaimed, hand-made, upcycled, antique, and repurposed in an open-air marketplace. The free family-friendly event gives everyone a plethora of enduring products they can’t find anywhere else – under the summer sun in the heart of timeless downtown Long Grove with old-time games, live music, contests, food, and drinks.
The new and improved downtown Long Grove now features modern pedestrian conveniences while still embracing its vintage allure. Known for its wide array of independent, family-owned and operated restaurants and stores, Vintage Days also features shops and restaurants doling out historic specials all weekend long. Visitors are invited to explore the recently beautified village to sip, shop, and dine and discover what has made downtown Long Grove so beloved for so long.
This year’s festivities will be located all around the downtown area. Using GPS to get here? Enter the Visitors Center address, 145 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove, 60047 to find us.
This is a free event open to the public. There will be live music, unique vintage vendors and more—all within our quaint village setting. So much to see and do during your visit!
