Real Woodstock

Real Woodstock Your destination for music, arts & culture, great dining, shopping, and endless family activities. Our school system is a leader in dual language education.

47 miles from Chicago, Woodstock is close to the city with a charming small town personality all its own. Rich with arts and culture, a picturesque town square and a world-renowned Opera House, Woodstock also has an independent streak brimming with creativity and entrepreneurship. Artists and locally-owned businesses are embraced. And music, whether rock, folk, jazz, country or classical, fills the air indoors and out most every night.
