2 Fireworks Shows For Independence Day, America's 250th Celebration In Tinley Park: Village

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park residents will be treated to two fireworks shows to commemorate Independence Day and America's 250th birthday, the Village has announced.

The Village and Tinley Park-Park District have collaborated on two pyrotechnic displays over the July 4 weekend, officials said.

The first show will be held at dusk on Friday, July 3 just south of the 80th Avenue train station, the Village said. It will be featured as part of the debut Tinley Park Country Fest. The fireworks will be launched from the fire training tower area, making them visible from both the south and north lots, Village Manager Pat Carr said.

On July 4, a second show is set for dusk at McCarthy Park, 16801 S 80th Ave.

The Village said it has also planned other events to mark America's birthday, including "Party in the USA"-themed Benches on the Avenue on display now through October along Oak Park Avenue in Downtown Tinley, and red, white and blue streetscapes, flower displays, patriotic decor, and commemorative 250th anniversary flags throughout town.
