The tradition continues with the 33rd annual Johnny Appleseed Festival in Downtown Crystal Lake! This all-day event brings families and the community together to kick off the fall season and all its delights. This year’s Taste of Downtown has expanded around the festival, starting on Friday Night from 4 pm – 9 pm, and continuing all day Saturday, 10 am – 8 pm, with live music in-the-round and DTCL food tents. Don’t miss the Great Ball Race on Saturday at 3 pm, on Williams & Brink, for your chance to win $1,000!
