too enticed by large crowds. No matter where you sit on the issue, you can find the perfect place for you and your family to see the show.
Lisle’s Eyes to the Skies Festival
This is one of our favorite events, as it is a weekend festival that puts hot air balloons on display. You can take a ride yourself, or simply enjoy the wide range of unique designs. There will also be a carnival, live music on two stages, crafts and evening fireworks. The biggest display will be the evening of July 2, 2017, so don’t miss it.
Downers Grove Independence Day
Keeping things more traditional is the Independence Day celebration over in Downers Grove. It all takes place on Tuesday, July 4 and begins with a parade at 12:45 p.m. The fireworks display will be held at 9:30 p.m. at 75th Street and Lemont Road.

For the biggest display, you’ll want to head over to Navy Pier at 9:30 p.m. Of course, there are biweekly fireworks shows throughout the summer, but there’s plenty more to do if you head to Chicago. Highlights include Independence Day cruises and live bands.
This is actually a two day celebration, starting with carnival rides, a business expo, food vendors, a DG and fireworks on July 3, from 4 to 9 p.m. at Graf Park. The parade takes place on the 4th, marching through downtown Wheaton at 10 a.m.
