“Apple
Festival is Long Grove’s biggest festival of the season. We’re also proud that
Long Grove has been recognized as one of Chicagoland’s top 10 Open Spaces,” said Sharon Fine, Director of Community Development for The Village of Long
Grove. “What a perfect weekend to experience the Village’s historic charm,
great shopping, live music and entertainment, family activities, great food and
drink and, of course, the changing leaves. Families come year after year to
capture memories that they can share forever.”
