Our Wickstrom Auto Concerts are something truly special and they are made possible by the incredible businesses, restaurants, and partners who call The Arb home, along with the generous support of the Heidner family and our sponsors. While we are not a park district or village, we are proud to open our private property to the community and create these moments for everyone to enjoy. In return, we kindly ask that guests support our on-site businesses and refrain from bringing in outside food and beverages. Your support is what allows us to continue bringing these experiences to life and we are so grateful to share them with you.
