Fourth of July fireworks shows in Illinois by county.
Do you know where you’ll be watching fireworks for the Fourth this year? If you haven’t already made plans, you’ve come to the right place.
With the help of FireworksinIllinois.com, we’ve put together a list of the hundreds of fireworks shows that will be lighting up twilight skies on July 3 and 4.
Please note not every county is listed here since many do not post event information online, or at least haven’t done so yet, but we’ll continually update this list as more dates, times and locations become available.
If we missed any, please let us know in the comment section or email us at info@rebootillinois.com.
