Spring Grove Spring Grove

Nestled within the beautiful surrounds of Northern Illinois and divided by the meandering Nippersink Creek, Spring Grove is one of the fastest growing municipalities in McHenry County. The Village’s current population is 5,487. Years of careful planning have rewarded the Village with an increase in both commercial and light industrial development. Increased residential developments have provided the Village with a high-quality selection of housing.

Spring Grove is proud to be the home of the Annual Fourth of July Celebration. This celebration kicks off at noon with a parade and ends with a fireworks display in the evening. People attend both events from surrounding communities and states.

The Community Engagement committee was created in 2020 to promote resident involvement, engagement, and fellowship within the village by providing affordable and informal community events. These events include the Farmers Market, Kick Off to Summer, Craft Beer Festival, Oktoberfest, Trunk or Treat and Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. More information on these events can be found on their website
