Crystal Lake announces concert series

Summer brings wonderful outdoor activities, and enjoying music seems to be high on everyone's list in Crystal Lake.

The city recently announced the schedule for its upcoming Concerts in the Park, a series of free events that are held at Main Beach, located on Lake Shore Drive. Concerts are given Tuesdays, and people are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs, and well as food and beverages, including wine and beer. The parks do not allow glass to be brought in, but small charcoal grills are acceptable.

This year, for the first time, concert goers have a chance to attend as VIPS. The VIP package includes as many as four, eight-foot tables, although the attendees need to bring their own chairs. Also included are four parking spots, reserved in the lot; access to a gate to unload supplies; a large cooler of ice; and a chance to meet the band. Only one VIP group can be accommodated per concert, and reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

The scheduled concerts are:

  • July 7 – PettyCash, a party band that is also a tribute band for (of course) Tom Petty and Johnny Cash

  • July 14 – SpokenFour, playing Top 40 hits

  • July 21 - Johnny Russler & Beach Bum Band, playing Caribbean tunes

  • July 28 – The Crystal Lake Community Band

  • August 4 – The Jolly Ringwalds, playing tunes from the 1980s
