Springtime is in full bloom, and Downtown Crystal Lake is buzzing with excitement as we prepare to host our much-anticipated annual Garden Party on May 4th from 9 am to 4 pm. Mark your calendars and join us for a day filled with floral delights, local crafts, and family-friendly activities that celebrate the beauty of the season.

Start your day by visiting the iconic Clock Tower, where you’ll find a vibrant array of flowers to brighten up your home or garden, brought to us by Countryside Flower Shop! The Garden Party is a fundraiser that directly supports our Downtown Crystal Lake Association.

After exploring the blooms at the Clock Tower, make your way to Depot Park, where our Garden Party festivities continue. Browse through a curated selection of craft vendors offering handmade treasures and unique finds that showcase the talent of our local artisans.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Bring the little ones along for a day of creativity and imagination with free crafts for kids hosted at Depot Park. Let their creativity blossom as they engage in hands-on activities and create their own masterpieces to take home. There will also be a balloon artist sponsored by Crystal Lake Bank and a story time with our wonderful Crystal Lake Public Library.

With so much to see and do, Downtown Crystal Lake’s annual Garden Party promises to be a day to remember for the whole family. So come join us on May 4th and experience the joy of springtime in full bloom!

We can’t wait to welcome you to our charming downtown and celebrate the beauty of the season together. See you there!
