There will once again be a dazzling display of fireworks on Monday, July 4 at the park district after sundown.

The registration will take place around 9:00am and the judging will start at 9:30am with the parade beginning promptly at 10:00am. Winners will be announced at the parade’s end. Then, a DJ will be playing some fun tunes that evening and concessions will be open as we gear up for the beautiful fireworks display.

Weather Program
We will be hosting a Weather Program that will be put on by the National Weather Service. This program will take place on Thursday, July 14 from 1:00-3:00pm and is for kids ages 7-13, and is free to attend! There will be fun, interactive activities for the kids to participate in.
