Fox Lake Friday Night Live is Coming Back for the 2026 Season!

The Village of Fox Lake is thrilled to bring back Friday Night Live, a summer event series launching in June 2026. Taking place at the newly renovated Lakefront Park, this exciting weekly event will feature an artisan market (5-8 PM), free live music (7-9 PM), and a variety of food and beverage options from local businesses and food trucks. Presented by Ray Auto Group, Friday Night Live will run every Friday from June through August, offering a vibrant community experience for residents and visitors alike.

“Fox Lake has long been a destination for outdoor recreation, and with the renovation of Lakefront Park, we wanted to create an event that brings people together to celebrate,” said Donny Schmit, Mayor of the Village of Fox Lake. “Friday Night Live will showcase the best of our community while providing a fun, family-friendly atmosphere all summer long.”

Friday Night Live will feature theme market days and partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, adding even more variety and engagement opportunities for attendees. Whether you’re browsing fresh produce, enjoying live entertainment, or indulging in delicious local eats, there’s something for everyone at Fox Lake’s newest summer tradition.

As the Presenting Sponsor, Ray Auto Group is proud to support this initiative that fosters community engagement. “We believe in giving back to the communities we serve,” said Ray Scarpelli Jr., President and Principal Dealer, of Ray Auto Group. “Friday Night Live is the perfect opportunity to bring people together, support local businesses, and enjoy everything Fox Lake has to offer.”
