As summer starts winding down and the long nights turn into fall evenings, there is still time to see live music and attend events outdoors. There is one more concert in the Itsaca Outdoor Concert Series. Elk Grove is hosting a Free Dental Day and a Recycling event. We also have our Hometown Parade coming up right here in Elk Grove Village along with our annual Oktoberfest, so stay tuned for more information about that in our upcoming blogs!
