Experience the magic of Light the Night as Miller Point Park and the McHenry Riverwalk come alive for one of McHenry’s most anticipated community celebrations!

Spend the afternoon exploring craft vendors, then grab something delicious from the food trucks and settle in along the river for an evening of live music, glowing Fire Globes, and family-friendly fun. As darkness falls, Miller Point transforms with light and energy, creating a beautiful backdrop for a night out with friends and family.

Stay through the evening for the grand finale — a spectacular fireworks show over the river at 9:30 PM!
