Event details

Summer is here, and we’re celebrating with live music, good eats and great company! Join us at Monee Reservoir for the nautical version of Fun & Food Trucks featuring turf bites from Tacos Giselle and the surf cuisine of Cousins Maine Lobster as well as adult beverages from Tapville Social

At 6 p.m., enjoy a lively concert by The StingRays featuring the hits of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Have the kids enjoy lawn games with beautiful views of the preserve. Visit our vendors for giveaways, rent a kayak or canoe (or bring your own) to enjoy the concert on the water or bring a lawn chair to enjoy it on land. BYOB (beer or wine only, please.) 

The 2026 Fun & Food Trucks series is sponsored by Old National Bank

Note: Some visitors to Monee Reservoir may need to take a detour to reach the preserve because Pauling Road is closed at Interstate 57 for a roadway repair. Find detour details and updated information on our Closure and Construction alert webpage
