For over 30 years, the Village Band (comprised of volunteers) has provided free public concerts in Cook Park. These concerts are one of the favorite summer events that make Libertyville so special. Although supported by the Village of Libertyville, the band would not function without Director Corey Ames and Manager Paul Schmidt who work with the volunteers to provide wonderful concerts.
