Rush the stage to secure a spot as local rock and 80s cover bands sing their signature tunes. In September, the square becomes a venue for another highly anticipated event, Oktoberfest. German music, as well as German craft beer and cuisines, are the highlight of the event.The Metra and major thoroughfares gets residents to-and-fro

These nearby gems beckon with vibrant nightlife and diverse shopping, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tapestry of Plum Grove Village living. “Also, the community is just 40 minutes from downtown Chicago,” says Nancy Funteas, Realtor with @properties. “It’s a Northwest suburb right outside of Chicago.
