Second annual Hygge Festival February 9-15

In honor of the second annual Hygge Festival Feb. 9-15, participating resort and restaurant owners throughout Cook County will keep their fireplaces blazing during the month of February, so visitors can drop by to warm their fingers and toes, and possibly enjoy a warm or cold beverage. A dozen or more fireplaces will be featured on the tour, including wood, gas, outdoor hearths and fire pits.

The second annual festival will feature some new events: Fat tire biking demonstrations, Knitting lessons, Cross-country skiing tour at twilight and Fireplace tour featuring some of the most historic fireplaces in Cook County.

Favorite events from last year will also be back: Hygge themed menus, Bonfires with live music, Mukluk ball.
