The Annual McHenry County Water Forum will be held at the McHenry County College Auditorium from 5:30 to 8:00 PM on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. The Water Forum is a free, fully catered, public event that provides a festive atmosphere for people to learn about the water resources that make McHenry County special.

This year’s event will focus on “Watersheds” which can play a major role on improving water quality, reducing flooding, protecting groundwater, shaping land use, and enhancing resiliency in McHenry County. We have a great line-up of expert speakers and Duke’s Ale House and Kitchen will provide a wonderful selection of delicious entrees and side dishes.

Our goal for the Water Forum is for guests to go home smarter…and fuller…than they arrived. No registration is required, guests only need to bring their curiosity and an appetite.
