Things to Do

John Hersey High School Athletics

Hersey Huskies varsity & JV schedules, rosters, and ticket info. This site doesn't have a licensed schedule feed for game dates - Illinois HS schedules run mostly through MaxPreps, a commercial aggregator this site doesn't republish from - so this links to the school's own athletics page instead.

Hey Nonny — live music venue

Live music venue and restaurant at 10 S. Vail Ave., downtown Arlington Heights. This site can't read its show list automatically, so this links to the venue's own current schedule.

🎨 Arts & culture

Harmony Fest & Sounds of Summer — Downtown Arlington Heights

Downtown Arlington Heights' recurring seasonal events: the Sounds of Summer concert series each Thursday evening in summer, and Harmony Fest featuring the Taste of Arlington Heights each fall - dates and details are announced on their own site each year.

Village-run seasonal events & community calendar

The Village's events page lists seasonal community events as they're scheduled, including Trunk-or-Treat and the holiday Tree Lighting - check for the current schedule.

Village services, utilities, refuse & recycling

Water is billed by the Village every two months (Water Billing, 847-368-5520). Refuse, recycling, and yard waste go out together once a week via Groot (800-244-1977) - collection day depends which of the Village's four quadrants you're in (split by Oakton St. and Arlington Heights Rd.), so check the schedule. The vehicle sticker and dog license programs were both eliminated in the 2024 budget, so that's two less errands than older guides mention.

Get an Arlington Heights Memorial Library card

Register online for temporary or full access, or bring a photo ID with your current address to the Checkout Desk for a full-service card. If your ID address isn't current, a recent utility bill, postmarked mail, lease, or tax bill also works. Resident cards don't expire while you live in the library district. Circulation: 847-392-0100.

Township High School District 214 (high school)

John Hersey High School, Arlington Heights' own, is part of District 214 - the same district that serves Mount Prospect's Prospect High School and several other neighboring towns — confirm by address rather than assuming.

Frequently asked questions

How current is this guide?

It's regenerated automatically from the village, library, and park district's own listings, typically several times a week - not a one-time write-up that goes stale.

Is this every event or business, or just what's listed here?

Only what the linked public sources publish. For full details, hours, or anything not listed here, check the official page each item links to.

How do I see what's happening in Arlington Heights this specific weekend?

See the weekend view, which only shows items with a known date in the coming Friday-Sunday.

Can I add an event, or suggest a business for the directory?

Yes - submit an event and a person reviews it before it goes live, or a business owner can inquire about a listing.
