McHenry County College is located on Route 14, halfway between Woodstock and Crystal Lake. 

Turn in at the traffic light, then turn right and right again to park near the entrance for Building A, the very first building you come to.  Enter the building, walk straight ahead, and you'll find the Conference Center on the left, opposite the library. There's no stairs and everything is fully ADA-compliant.  

Come early and chat, we're always there by 6:30.  Here's a map of MCC.  (If you accidentally parked on the south side, by the Luecht Auditorium or the cafeteria, no matter, just walk around to the left past the gym, up the stairs at the end, turn right and we're there.)

Lake In The Hills Summer Sunset Parade

Democratic Party of McHenry County at the 2026 Sunset Parade

The Lake In The Hills Summer Sunset Festival is always fun, and there's no better way to celebrate it than by joining us in the Summer Sunset Parade, stepping off at 11:00am on Saturday September 5th from Sunset Skate Park. 

We'll know our number in the parade closer to the date.  The skate park is on Haligus where it's curving around, south of the Bark Park, and Google has the address as 5200 Miller Road. 

Our float will be arriving at the Skate Park between 9:30 and 10am.  Come at that time if you want to help decorate the float.  Otherwise please plan to arrive no later than 10:30 -- this parade steps off right on time.

The route takes us east and north on Haligus, then east and south on Miller, ending at Sunset Park.

McHenry Fiesta Days Parade

JOIN US AT THE MCHENRY FIESTA DAYS PARADE!

Put on your walking shoes and a smile and let's show we are proud to be a force in McHenry by marching with us at Fiesta Days. 

It's Sunday, July 19th, 2026, and the Democratic Party of McHenry County and all our great candidates and office-holders will be there.

The parade steps off at 1:30pm.  It will be crowded so please arrive by 12:30 or 1 at the latest, and if you wish to help decorate the float, please arrive at 11:30.

The parade steps off from Mill Street and West Crystal Lake Road and terminates at Riverside Drive & Washington Street.  The route is Main Street to Green Street to Pearl Street to Riverside Drive to Washington Street. 

You can park at St. Patrick Catholic Church at 3500 Washington Street, which is near the parade terminus, and from 11:30 to 1pm we'll have a van to shuttle you over to the assembly point.  The last van run will depart the church parking lot at 1pm sharp.  Then after the parade you can ride on our float for the quick hop back to the church.

Here's a map showing the starting point, the terminus, and the parking location at the church.  The blue line is the parade route, and the red line is the shuttle route.
