Illinois homegrown

Here’s a festival you’ll want to explore if you love vino, bluegrass or country music. For a small admission fee, Hill Prairie Winery will give you a free glass you can take with you in the winery sample room and a full day of music outside under the pavilion.

Sunday is slated for bluegrass music, with Second Harvest, The River Ramblers and Tom Irwin playing. Country music fills the air on Memorial Day as Hillbilly Circus performs from 1-3 p.m. and Seeing Daylight takes the stage from 3-6 p.m. Doors open each day at 12 p.m. While the establishment asks that no coolers, food, drink or pets be brought to the festival; food, desserts and glasses and bottles of wine are available for purchase. Don’t forget your lawn chair. Oakford is only 30 minutes north of Springfield, just up the road from Petersburg.
