Montgomery Fest

Each summer, Montgomery Fest brings together neighbors and friends from throughout the area to enjoy a weekend of old-fashioned family fun. Held the second weekend in August along the banks of the Fox River, highlights of the Fest include musical performances, carnival rides, a wide range of food vendors, petting zoo, a carp fishing derby, a car show, parade and fireworks.

In 2021, Montgomery Fest will be held on August 13, 14 and 15. This year will feature a new layout with the stage in the park with plenty of shaded areas for seating.  Special events will include a K-9 demonstration, car show, terrific entertainment, and a parade that local groups or businesses can participate in with no registration fee (although advance sign-up is required).  One additional change in 2021 is that there will be no craft or business booths except for sponsor booths due to Covid-19 and the ongoing requirements for social distancing.

Details & Village Partners

The Village of Montgomery partners with the Montgomery Foundation to offer a beer booth at Montgomery Fest. Anyone 21 years of age can enjoy a cold beer along with their favorite festival foods in the food court. All proceeds from the beer booth benefit the Montgomery Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that supports programs of education and community service.

A detailed schedule of events can be printed from the Village website and is also mailed to all residents with the August water bills. And in case you haven't ever been to Montgomery Fest, here's a video showing highlights from a recent Montgomery Fest.

Various levels of sponsorships are available for businesses, ranging from major sponsors to event sponsors to in-kind donations. This is a wonderful way to show your support for the community and showcase your business at the Fest. We would like to thank the 2021 Montgomery Fest Sponsors who are making this event possible!

Applications for the car show and for the Parade are available online, along with a map of the parade route (PDF). For further information on Montgomery Fest, please call (630) 896-8080 ext. 9003.
