McHenry's Riverwalk entrance at Green Street on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023. The city council heard a proposal on Monday that, if approved, would allow residents to walk from restaurants, bars and shops, and on the Riverwalk and in parks, with open containers of alcohol.

The skies above McHenry will be aglow Saturday, Sept. 28, for the annual Light the Night event at Miller Point on McHenry Riverwalk.

The family-friendly event runs from 4 to 9 p.m., and features free live music, food trucks and beverages, in addition to mesmerizing fire dancers, fire globes and fireworks.
