Bees, barbecue and music will be part of the fun at Barrington Hills’ seventh annual fall festival Sunday, Sept. 29.
The Hills Are Alive is set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the village park district’s riding center, 361 Bateman Road. The free fest will run rain or shine.
Barrington Hills residents who are beekeepers will demonstrate their hobby and offer honey tasting from 1 to 4 p.m. Beekeeping is a permitted use in the village’s residential areas, which have a 5-acre lot minimum.
Village President Martin McLaughlin said one of the fun aspects of The Hills Are Alive is featuring something that typically wouldn’t be found in other suburbs. At the first fest in 2013, a tongue-in-cheek chicken beauty contest was held to highlight how at least 40 residents at that time were raising chickens on their properties.
