The Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation present the Lake Forest Music Festival featuring Bourbon and Burgers.

Those looking to enjoy music, food, and kids activities want to head to the parking lot behind City Hall. Our inaugural event will feature burgers, bourbon, beer and wine pavilion, live bands on two stages, as well as games and activities for the kids.

There is no better food companion to bourbon than burgers – and this year's festival theme does not disappoint. At least four chefs, of all types, offer up their signature dishes which can be consumed in comfort in the seating area.

The bourbon tasting pavilion is offering more than 20 types of bourbon for tasting, craft cocktails – along with beer and wine.
