Petersen Park 4300 Peterson Park Road, McHenry, IL 60050

"Year 2 for us a Bands, Brews and BBQs. Better bands this year but still an unworkable dance floor. They set up the barriers/fencing too close to the concrete pad for dancing. This results in people standing on the pad, crowding the dancers. If that's why you are there, it makes for a less pleasant experience."

"Came for Bands, Brews & Barbecue. $15.00 to walk in. Beers $5.00,$8.00 for premium beers & drinks. Average price of food items is $12.00, although you can find a few things for $8.00 or $9.00. Many other things are $16.00-$18.00. It is a very nice setting & stage set-up. I guess what I'm saying is that festivals aren't a cheap night out anymore. I spent $57.00 & stopped at White Castle on the way home because I was still hungry. For the money I spent, I could have had a great dinner out somewhere. 5 stars for the setting, 3 stars for the experience."

"Awesome car show...reminds me of the "Car Craft street machine nationals". Here's my favorite car with my favorite wife...LMAO ."

"Perfect place for an event! Love coming here for all the local events that take place in town."

"Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. No lifeguards at the beach. Kids should definitely wear a life jacket in the water. Good place for kids to play in the sand and water or run around in the fields. I taught my kid how to fly a kite in this park too. It’s a large grassy area with few trees/power lines, so it was a perfect spot. This is also where McHenry holds concerts, weekend festivals, and the carnival. Really nice spot to sit and watch the water too. I enjoy coming here to decompress."
