Rescheduled Fireworks Canceled In Northbrook

NORTHBROOK, IL — The canceled fireworks show is canceled again. The Village of Northbrook announced that a rescheduled Fourth of July fireworks display scheduled for Sept. 5 is not happening. The announcement came during Tuesday's Northbrook Village Board meeting.

Citing the safety of residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials announced at the beginning of May that most of the traditional Independence Day activities have been postponed this year. Residents, though, still had something to look forward to until the latest decision.

The show was scheduled for the usual spot at Meadowhill Park.

Also in May, the Village and the Park District decided to cancel other 4th of July activities including the annual Liberty Loop 5K Run/Walk, the Mile-long Parade, the Bike Parade, and the Police and Fire Department softball game. The Rotary Club of Northbrook canceled the Pancake Breakfast and had planned to reschedule the Rubber Ducky Race.
