Barrington providing in-kind donation by waiving fees, providing security for December festival.
It may seem early to think about the holidays, but the Barrington Village Association and Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club are already planning its ChristKindl Fest and has already obtained the village’s approval for this year’s festival.
ChristKindl Fest is scheduled for the weekend of December 6 to 8, coinciding with Barrington Traditions on Dec. 7.
The village of Barrington waived fees, including fees for tents, food application fee for local vendors and sound amplification permit, as an in-kind contribution. The contribution is up to $7,500 for a multi-day event under Barrington’s special event policy.
