Aurora Reschedules 4th Of July Fireworks Show: See When

AURORA, IL — Severe storms over the weekend put a damper on Aurora's Independence Day fireworks show, but only briefly. The city announced it rescheduled its July 3 show for July 10.

The City of Aurora cited severe storms, more forecast inclement weather and conversations with the police and fire departments as the reason for the date switch.

The show will take place at RiverEdge Park and McCullough Park as originally intended.

"Keeping visitors safe remains the City’s top priority for the event," the city wrote in an alert July 3 on Facebook. "With a high probability of more thunderstorms tonight, per the National Weather Service, combined with substantial portions of the City recovering from storm damage and still without power, the decision was made to reschedule tonight's fireworks show."
