June Events in Illinois

Harvard Milk Days

June 5-7, 2020, Harvard

Raise your glass – of milk, that is – to the annual Harvard Milk Days, happening in the northeastern Illinois town of Harvard.

An area favorite, the event offers carnival rides, games, delicious food, fireworks, a petting zoo, antique tractor show, junior cattle show and parade that lasts for more than two hours.

What began in 1942 as a tribute to the region’s dairy farmers has grown into one of the longest-running hometown festivals in Illinois. Don’t miss Harmilda, the fiberglass cow that sits at the Five Points, perhaps the most iconic part of the festival.
