Great Performers of Illinois July 11, 2010

Celebrate the arts unique to Illinois when more than 50 performers from across the state present three days of rock, folk and other popular music throughout the Park, including the Great Performer of Illinois Award Concert on Sunday night.

In addition to music of all genres, the whole family can enjoy a weekend of square-dancing, Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln impersonators roving the park, a 7,000-square-foot maze of real cornstalks, and interactive activities for all ages. The 5th annual festival showcasing the best of Illinois also features free wine tastings from Illinois vintners and a marketplace of Illinois artisanal crafts and local foods and products.

Presented by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Bureau of Tourism; the Chicago Office of Tourism; the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs; and the Illinois Arts Council.
