It's hard to believe it's already this far into the summer, but there's still plenty of festivals to keep you busy for the rest of the season. There's something for everyone. I grew up going to a bunch of them, and now I take my family each year.

According to the Daily Herald...

Have a favorite summer food or drink? There’s probably a suburban or city fest devoted to it.

Highlights include a rib fest in Vernon Hills, a halal food fest in Naperville, a wine celebration in Geneva, craft beer events in Elgin and Elmhurst, and an entire evening dedicated to garlic in Highwood.
