Highland Park's Independence Day festivities will begin on July 3 with the Park District’s festival for all ages. The City’s “Dream Team”-themed parade, which includes entertainment coordinated by the Park District, will bring vibrant community spirit to Downtown Highland Park when it steps off at 11:00 AM on July 4. Cognizant of the importance of dedicating time for reflection and support, the City will also coordinate a remembrance in the morning. 

A drone or fireworks show is not being organized by the City in 2025. Recognizing the diverse array of community needs to balance, particularly as it pertains to community trauma, sustainability concerns, and pet needs, at this time, the City Council supported a pause on evening events for further community discussion.
