Historic Downtown Long Grove Business Association
All about chocolate
Long Grove’s annual homage to the cocoa bean returns with
“For the Love of Chocolate.” The event May 14-16 may be on a smaller scale to comply with COVID-19 health and safety guidelines but it won’t skimp on everything chocolate. Included are food vendors, live entertainment and kid’s activities. Opening night includes an artist hand carving a sculpture of Frank Sinatra while singer Tony Ocean performs. Advance online registration is required to attend. Downtown Long Grove, 308 Old McHenry Rd. Tickets: $10-$45. Visit longgrove.org.
