HOW ABOUT THOSE BLUES!

Let's get together for “Bites, Brews and Blues” at Orland Park Crossing. . Similar to OPACC’s former Arts and Drafts, breweries will be on site providing a tasting experience for attendees 21 and older. This year’s lineup will celebrate the summer season with flavor and flair.
Guests participating in the tasting will receive a commemorative glass and 10 tokens to sample the craft beers of their choice from various breweries, including Hailstorm Brewing Co. of Tinley Park, Lockport’s Nik & Ivy Brewing Co., and Fogo de Chão, which will be showcasing its signature Brazilian selections.
Food lovers will have plenty to pick from—a variety of food trucks will be serving up their finest dishes, including Cousins Maine Lobster, The Creole Cauldron, Mi Taquito, and Peppo’s Subs. Snacks and treats will be offered by Te’Amo Boba Bar, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Ben’s Soft Pretzels, Poppin’ Lemonade, and Sugar Plum 365.
A vibrant vendor marketplace will feature crafters and local businesses such as Big Fellas Cigar Lounge, Unique Wooden Flags, Mark Klein Caricatures, The Ravens House, Nova Permanent Jewelry, and many more.
The entertainment lineup: Dave Schmidt Blues Band 3:30 to 5 p.m. The Leafy Greens from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Smiley Tillmon Band 8 to 10 p.m. Guests are encouraged to shop and stroll throughout the event, with Orland Park Crossing’s retailers also open for business and participating in the day’s festivities.
