Throughout the year, many of us look forward to the summer season. That’s the time to get outdoors, celebrate the warm weather, take some time off work, and do the things we can’t do during the other times of the year. Between amusement parks, waterparks, beaches, boating, tubing, outdoor concerts, and festivals, there are plenty of things to keep us busy all season long. This summer, from August 20-22, 2021, the Blues Brews & BBQ Festival returns to McHenry. If you enjoy good music, craft beer, and mouthwatering BBQ, this event is worth checking out.

This year's Blues Brews & BBQ Festival is coming back to McHenry for its 10th year. The three-day event will be held at Petersen Park on McCullom Lake from August 20-22, 2021.
