One of the largest summer festivals in the suburbs -- Frontier Days in Arlington Heights -- is canceled for the second year in a row, organizers announced Wednesday.
Cancellation of the five-day festival of bands, food, arts and crafts, carnival rides, family entertainment and games also comes with the postponement of the 4th of July Parade and Stampede run that takes place over the same long summer weekend. All events are organized by the Frontier Days, Inc. nonprofit group and its volunteer board of directors.
