The Elgin area is gearing up to observe Memorial Day, a time for solemn remembrance and community connection. In Elgin and neighboring Bartlett, ceremonies will honor the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation’s freedom. Beyond these poignant tributes, the spirit of the long weekend will also be felt through local bars and restaurants featuring live music, and the beloved Fox River Trolley Museum being open for trolley rides through scenic landscapes.

Mark your calendars to participate in these community occasions:
