Windmill City Festival, a longtime staple of the Batavia community and a weekend draw for folks throughout Kane County, is set for July 7 through July 10 in downtown Batavia.

The festival features a carnival, popular 5K run, a pet parade and an ice-cream-eating contest and a ton of family friendly events. Admission is free.
