Buffalo Grove Days — Local services in Buffalo Grove

We have enjoyed Buffalo Grove Days for the last few years since we moved here. They think about the details, like tables, seating, and shade. And the stage area is fantastic - truth be told this is the real reason we come here, the live music.

This year we came on Saturday and Monday. Saturday afternoon 7th Heaven was playing. While their 30 songs in 30 min mashup was pretty cool, we would have loved to hear some of those popular songs full length. The lead singer’s voice was made to cover Def Leppard and Bon Jovi- it would have been awesome to hear more of that but instead the full songs they covered were cheesy C-class songs. Then they brought up another singer/rapper and it got kinda gimmicky.

I would have loved to see more of Blackberry Jam- they are amazing and take on some serious, legendary songs by bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Bob Seger, Steve Winwood, The Black Crows …and the list goes on.

They had the whole set from 12-3 on Sunday which was awesome, but they are worth seeing over multiple days.

Great multi-day event, so big thanks and kudos to all those who invest the time to bring it to the local...

Bingo was WORST experience ever at BG days. They had a tiny tent for so many people. And APPARENTLY wanted to be finished with the games before it got dark but they started at 630. Played ten games so they had to whip through them ridiculously fast. Couldn't even eat a bite of food! Also There's barely any vendors and the shuttle service is despicable. Only three access points across the ENTIRETY of the city. What a shame. Why even bother? What a waste of tax payer money. At least plan it well! Won't be surprised to never see it again. Moving locations was possibly the worst idea ever. Since moving to the large space provided, it's been underutilized, over charged. And vendors can't even afford to stay! ...

BG Days this year was worse than any other year. I have lived in this town for 11 years now and this year compared to the rest makes me shake my head, all the rides are smaller and they removed most of them. I went to the Palatine Days in July and it was perfect. BG Days was disappointing to...
