2020 Mane Event & Taste Of Arlington Heights Canceled

Press release from the Village of Arlington Heights:

June 2, 2020

The 2020 Mane Event & Taste of Arlington Heights are canceled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These popular August events celebrate the Arlington Park Racetrack. The Mane event is hosted by the Village’s Special Events Commission and the Taste of Arlington Heights is held by the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce.

Keeping the community and event goers healthy and safe during the pandemic was the key priority in the Village Board's decision at its June 1st meeting. Per the Restore Illinois plan, festivals are not permitted until Phase 5 of the plan.

We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in dramatic ways. The Village and the Chamber of Commerce join together in taking this step to help our community, state and nation recover from this pandemic. We look forward to celebrating that recovery when we host these wonderful downtown events again in 2021!
