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.
