One of the best highlights of Arlington Heights is its fine restaurants, and August is especially excellent because it is the time of the annual Taste of Arlington Heights block party in downtown Arlington Heights.
Mane Event, Taste of Arlington Heights, August 5-6, 2016 in Downtown
Take it to the streets on Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6, 2016 for the Mane Event on Friday followed by the Taste of Arlington Heights on Saturday. The bookend events both occur on Vail and Campbell in Downtown, and they combine to make one of the biggest weekend celebrations of the summer!
This block-party styled weekend is a crescendo to the summer and both events are ripe for celebration with live music from favorite local bands, wonderful food from local restaurants with a variety of cuisines, a business expo at the Mane Event, and children’s entertainment.
