The Village of Barrington recently posted the following updates on traditional summer events:
Cruise Night
Cruise Night is canceled. There will be no assemblies of vehicles, no entertainment, no Kid Zone, and no food vendors.
July 4th: “Take the Parade to the People”
While the July 4th parade and fireworks have been canceled, we are taking the parade to the people by encouraging our residents to decorate their cars and have a neighborhood parade between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 4th. You might even see some of our Barrington fire trucks and police cars drive through!
Brat Tent, Fitness Run & Barrington’s White House
The Brat Tent is postponed until September, and the Good Shepherd Family Fitness Run will be held virtually. The Barrington’s White House Open House is canceled.
Uncork Barrington & Barrington Brewfest
Both Uncork Barrington and Barrington Brewfest have been canceled this summer.
Barrington Wine Walk and Sizzling Summer Sale Days
This year’s Barrington Wine Walk is scheduled to be held on July 25 in conjuction with the Sizzling Summer Sale Days from Thursday, July 23 to Saturday, July 25. These events are predicated on Illinois moving to Phase IV of the governor’s re-opening plan.
Farmer’s Market
The Barrington Farmer’s Market will go forward as planned, each Thursday from June 18 to October 15 from 3:00-7:00 p.m. on Park Avenue. The market will be “walk-through,” with strict social distancing guidelines being observed.
WTF? Is that Darch on that horse? Whoever it is has no shame parading around like that in a poor defenseless animal!
Curious as to why fireworks, parade and family fitness run, all Barrington traditions, are cancelled but BLM rally in Citizen Park allowed?
