The Burgoo Festival is an annual village street party featuring flea marketers,
craftsmen, musicians, and other entertainment. More than 250 vendors will present
their wares at this craft show and flea market. Sponsored by the non-profit LaSalle
County Historical Society, it is the organization’s major fundraiser.
Established 44 years ago, the Burgoo Festival is one of the longest-running and largest
fall festivals in northern Illinois. The festival evolved many years ago when several
members of the LaSalle County Historical Society explored options for fundraising,
recognizing the need for revenue beyond membership dues and donations.
October
More than 250 vendors display their wares on Utica’s downtown streets.
Sunday musical entertainment will include marching bands, and other vocalists.

The Illinois River Winery was founded in 1998 with the establishment of
Starved Rock Vineyards by Gregg Kane. At the Winery, Gregg helps keep the
focus on artistic quality instead of formula winemaking. Gregg’s agricultural
roots and lean manufacturing background have served the vineyards and winery
well over the years. Visitors to the winery are much more likely to find Gregg
on a tractor or in the wine lab than in his office. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
All groups are welcome small or large, we love guests.
However we ask that large groups give notice so that we can make proper arrangements.
