In Illinois, you'll find a fireworks show to check out anywhere between July 1st and July 4th. I say Go Big and see a show every night. Boom!

4th of July Celebrations Around Illinois

Much like when the Halloween holiday falls on a weeknight, communities are split on when the best time would be to hold a 4th of July celebration. Some don't like the idea of moving celebrations to a more convenient day than the actual date of the holiday, while others would like to not feel half-dead the next day at work.

In 2024, the 4th of July falls on a Thursday, so several communities chose dates for their fireworks shows between Saturday, June 29th, and Sunday, July 7th.
