There’s more than country music at Boots, Bourbon & BBQ!

Between sets, keep the fun going with axe throwing, classic arcade and bar games like NBA Jam and Ms. Pac-Man, nine-hole mini golf, and a golf simulator featuring a closest-to-the-pin contest on TPC Sawgrass’ iconic 17th hole. Come for the music, stay for the games.

It’s more than just country taking over Venue 1012. From games and activities to everything that makes a great festival day, there’s plenty of fun waiting for you.

We heard you! We’ve updated our ticket policy so children 12 and under are now free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Bring the family and make a day of it!

You won’t want to miss it. Visit: https://events.oswegoil.org/e/boots-2026 for more details and to secure your ticket to the party!

The next phase of the My Daily Travel household survey, conducted by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), is now underway in Oswego and communities across northeastern Illinois.

Selected households will receive an invitation by mail asking them to share information about how, when, where and why members of their household travel. One of the graphics included here shows what the official survey invitation will look like when they arrive in the mail.

If your household receives an invitation, you can participate by visiting: MyDailyTravelSurvey.com or scanning the QR code included on your invitation and following the instructions provided. Only households that receive an invitation are eligible to participate.

The information collected will help transportation planners better understand how people travel throughout northeastern Illinois and guide future transportation investments and improvements.

Because only a limited number of households are selected, every completed survey helps ensure that the experiences of local households like yours are represented in future transportation decisions.
