Schaumburg Park Foundation’s Solstice Hop and Vine Fest will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., June 16 at Spring Valley Nature Center, 1111 E. Schaumburg Road.
“The evening features the region’s finest wines and brews on the prairie and supports the campaign to renovate the Nature Center at Spring Valley,” said Foundation Executive Vice President Pat Casler.
The Fest will feature smooth jazz by “Together Again,” nature walks among the fireflies and food by Whole Foods Market Schaumburg, Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Moretti’s Ristorante and Pizzeria, and Riccardo’s Ristorante.
