New Route Announced For Fourth of July Parade

Glen Ellyn 4th of July theme and NEW parade route.

The 2015 theme is “Blue, White & Red: North to South Instead”. Our parade route is shortened and reverse due to road construction.

There is construction scheduled for Crescent Blvd this summer. The parade route will be rerouted and return to the traditional route next year.

The parade route will begin at Hawthorne St and Lenox Rd marching north on Lenox Rd, turning west onto Linden St. and southbound on Main St ending at Crescent.

The staging area will be in the surrounding area consisting of the high school parking lots, Lake Rd and the neighboring streets south of Hawthorne.

Please consider parking in the lots south of the train tracks and walking to the festivities by foot.
