Lake in the Hills Rockin' Rotary Ribfest Kicks Off This Week

It's that time of year again! 

Summer translates into barbecue season in Lake in the Hills. And this is the week some the country's best grillers and BBQ masters bring their finger-licking, mouth watering food fare to the Lake in the Hills Rockin' Ribfest at Sunset Park, 5200 Miller Rd., Lake in the Hills. 

This year's fest runs Thursday through Sunday, July 11-14, and has packed in plenty of professional ribbers and lots of delicious fest food favorites, such as roasted corn, homemade lemonade and funnel cakes. 

In addition to all the good food, Rockin' Ribfest has lined up some of the best bands in the Chicagoland area. Bands include Soul Asylum, 7th Heaven, Cover Gurl, Kashmir: The Led Zeppelin Concert, Dave Rudolph's Beach Party and many more.
