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.

Get inspired, mingle with our candidates and fellow party members, and have some food and fun as we begin the 2026 petition passing season! Pick up candidate petition packages, literature & signs. The Party will provide lunch and beverages, but donations would be much appreciated.

We reserved the VA/JAYCEE shelter, which features easy parking, restrooms, and a playground nearby.

Plus, we're going to be having a "50-50" fundraising raffle.  Come on out, buy some tickets, and help us raise funds to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

It will be a full house - BRING A FOLDING CHAIR! It's likely to be hot so please bring your filled water bottle to stay hydrated, as well as kind to our environment. :)

RSVP REQUIRED - please let us know you are coming so we have enough food for everyone!
