The Village is pleased to offer the 2026 Arbortheater Concert Series. These free, family friendly outdoor concerts are held at our beautiful Memorial Arbortheater, located at 50 S. Fairway Drive, just north of the Vernon Hills Athletic Complex (VHAC). 

Concerts are planned for select Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. Concerts are open to everyone – bring a blanket, picnic basket, snacks and your dancing shoes. Because the concerts are held outside, weather does play a part. Watch the Village of Vernon Hills Facebook page for changes or announcements.

During the concerts the main parking lot is blocked off for seniors and those with handicap placards. General concert parking is available in the Rogers Executive Park II parking lot adjacent to the Arbortheater. The Arbortheater can also be accessed on the bike path through Deerpath Park just north of the Kids Castle.
