One of the resons its so good is the quality of the volunteers, they are the heartbeat of the festival.

The activities during the day are geared toward families and great entertainment at night. The best part is that admission is free. Food and beer are available to purchase and at reasonable prices. The "Red Shirt" volunteers put in a great deal of care and effort and it shows. On Independence Day, I attended the parade and it is THE BEST parade that I have ever seen. The focus is on fun with a capital F. Before the band on the first night I saw them present scholarships. What a great way to give back to the community! Beyond the regular carnival activities are some very special and unique activities that make Frontier Days special. Among them are bingo, pony rides, pie eating contest, rib eating contest, cake decorating, dog frisbee, corn hole, water fights, soccer tournament, volleyball tournament, spikeball tournament, etc. The family fun stage is filled with lots of amazing entertainment such as the pet parade, magicians, reptile show, dancers, clowns, police demonstrations, and music acts. The best part of the festival for me is the Citizens with Disabilities day. This is a day where citizens with disabilities and their families can ride in the carnival without the big crowds and with accessibility considerations. This is followed by a great lunch and entertainment for the families. Frontier days is definitely a magical way to spend the Fourth of July weekend!

For the next 4 hours you can drink lots of beer, some maybe good, some maybe not so good, some are weird, and yet, oddly endearing. For 2015 - we were given a list of brewers (20 tables), sample glass (too keep), a raffle ticket (hang on for the prizes) and a piece of paper with the numbers 1-50, presumably to track your samples (fyi - toss it, nobody cares!!!). Glad to have checked out this beerfest. I got to sample some new breweries that I can't seem to remember, I'll have to look at my Untappd history. There were quite a selection from churro to s'more to dirty melon beers out there. My favorite ZumBier's Zesticle (yes, it is mango), the strangest one Arcade's Pale Minotaur - is that cheese? Most of the festivities were in the auditorium with 3 tables upstairs. Lines, if any, moved very fast for each booth. Some brewers had hourly sections to sample their beer, and most booths had 2 or 3 to try from, so there was never a line. A band was playing and Haute Sausage sold food. The women's bathroom has only 2 toilets which could be a wait, but luckily it wasn't bad. Overall, I had a good time, but thought the charge for admission to be a bit high. I might be old, but towards the end of the first session, the music got very loud.

Look, I'm not Italian, I've been to Italy. Does that count?

We had the bacon jam coal fire pizza, really thin crust with fresh buffalo mozzarella - excellent ! Most boths are run by mom and pop, so they don't flip the tablet to guilt you the mandatory 15% tip for handing you your food. Alleluia!!! The suggested entry fee is only $7! They have actual merchandise to sell here not just arts and crafts. They also have carnival games for kids.

Part baseball, part dance, part gymnastics. I went to the Wintrust stadium website to check if there was anything to know before the game. For boomers games, there is no charge for parking. However, we didn't know until we pulled up for our game it cost $20. They only inspect larger bags. Players wander the stadium to interact with fans. Merch and concessions are reasonable prices. They have a large selection of craft beer. Bathrooms were spacious, but I felt the women's bathroom smelled. The crowd was very pleasant and respectful.

It's serviceable as far as ball park food goes, but I haven't run into anything yet I'd want to get again. Even the pretzels which should be hard to mess up have a weird sweetness to them. The park itself is nice though, as anywhere you sit will have a good seat. Even if you go for just lawn seats, there are a couple lawn areas on either side you can sit at, a new beer garden that goes all the way down to the baseline, a covered area with picnic tables, and a large kids area with some inflatables and a misting area when it gets hot. Really appreciate the variety of seating options. Parking is ample and free, but getting out can be a pain for busier days. For that July 4th show the fireworks were great, but it took us an hour to get out since everyone was leaving at the same time and it was a packed game. Overall we'll still look to come back here for more games in the future, but may look to sneak in some food in our kid's wagon coming in.

The set up was in the stadium of the ballpark, not in the actual field but up where the concessions and bathrooms are. This wasn't a very crowded event and I think it might be because there isn't much advertisement about it. I only knew of this from a friend as well as an invite to Yelp elites - a giveaway which had ballpark brewfest tkts. Lots of local breweries and a few food options. This is a great place to start if you haven't been to a brewfest before and are interested in checking one out. Very chill and not as chaotic as most. My 2 'cons' are I wish they would have had the event in the field vs on the level of where the concession stands and bathrooms are. I think the vibe and the ambiance would be better on the field. I also didn't get a ballpark brewfest cup, I got a plastic clear cup which is fine. But again, vibe changes when it comes to little things like that. Overall this was a fun time! I recommend this to those who enjoy drinking beers, seltzers, etc in a chill and casual environment.

There was a long line to get in, but it moved relatively fast. You received a 3 oz glass upon entering. The vendors were set up in the concourse. Lines were reasonable and moved very fast. The breweries were all local and each offered at least 2-3 options. You can actually sample as many beers as you like, there was not a tracking system. Concessions were open, and there were 2 food trucks , each were fantastic There was a band, but it was located in the back of the picnic area and you could only hear if you were in that area. Overall, a great way to try lots of different beers. There were also ciders, seltzers and cocktails!
