That’s a wrap! Empanada Fest 2026 was another huge success for our community and our little city on the lake! Mother Nature forgot to turn the oven off during the day, but when it finally cooled down and that breeze came in, it was a typical gorgeous September night on the lake. Thanks again to ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS who executed this day with us. Thank you to our SPONSORS for helping us pay the bills. Without both of you, this festival is nothing but a big idea. Thank you to our loyal community who never turns their back on us and made it a point to stop by for at least one taco to show their support. Thank you to all of the new faces that stopped by from all around the region and Chicagoland, and thank you to our vendors for coming back year after year and becoming a part of this WHHO family. It was a long and very hot day and we invite everyone to come back and clean it all up tomorrow! 🤪 just kidding! See you next year!❤️🙏🏼🙌🏽
