Looking for a fireworks display or parade to see this week? There are several in the Chicago area! All the events listed below are FREE!
Before attending, PLEASE check the link. Because of dry conditions some events may be canceled and although I’ve listed the starting time for the fireworks displays, many of these locations have festivities starting earlier.
