Welcome To Elgin, IL

Enjoy the Scenery and Experience the Fun in Elgin, IL

Elgin was developed along the Fox River in the northeastern region of Illinois. Tales of the rich soil in the area inspired Hezekiah and James Gifford to venture to the location to form a settlement. By 1835, they laid the plans for the new community and named the town for the Scottish tune entitled "Elgin." Dairy farms soon emerged, which made the town notable with residents in larger cities. Gail Borden established his factory here.

Today, Elgin is proud of its history and diverse population. Visitors find amenities that rival those of larger cities. Must visit locations include the Elgin Fire Barn No. 5 Museum, the Elgin Public Museum of Natural History & Anthropology and the Lords Park Zoo.

Things To Do

Throughout the summer, all are welcome to venture to Festival Park for the weekly Movies in the Park. The family-friendly films presented are appropriate for all ages and tastes. Before the movie begins, visitors enjoy the Elgin Express train rides around the park. Popcorn and other concessions are available before and during the movie.

On Tuesday nights in June and July, residents have the chance to unwind and relax while listening to live musical performances during the weekly Summer Concert in the Park. The concerts are presented in Festival Park. The variety of selections include everything from barbershop quartets and country performers to 60s oldies and R&B.

During the first weekend in August, Elgin promotes the visual and performing arts during the Art and Soul event. The two-day event enables guests to view the works of hand-chosen artists. Stages present live performances provided by a number of regional acts.

Toward the end of August, Elgin celebrates the city's cultural diversity by hosting the annual IFest. The festivities bring people representing dozens of world cultures together at the Riverside Drive Promenade. All enjoy live performances of traditional music and dance presented by people of different ethnic backgrounds. Guests also have the chance to sample authentic cuisines. There are cultural art and craft exhibits along with activities geared toward youngsters."
