Leave Technology Behind for a Night Outside at Veteran Acres Park on Unplug Illinois Day, Sat, July 12

Tue July 1, 2025

Join the Crystal Lake Park District for a FREE, family fun night as we celebrate Unplug Illinois Day at Veteran Acres Park! Unplug Illinois is a campaign created by the Illinois Park and Recreation Association that encourages people to unplug from their electronic devices and plug into play, creativity, friendship, adventure and family. The Crystal Lake Park District will join over 60 agencies across Illinois in support of this campaign. Hike the firefly trail, see which critters fly around Veteran Acres at nighttime and observe the night sky with the Lake County Astronomical Society. See what happens at the Nature Center after dark, including a campfire and snacks too!
