Popular Chicago-area cover band the Maggie Speaks All-Stars will take the stage at 6:45 p.m. and perform hit songs until 9:45 p.m.
The breathtaking fireworks, synchronized to pop music, movie music and patriotic music broadcast on a concert-quality sound system, will begin at 10 p.m.
Admission to the event is free. On-site parking is available for a donation of $25 per car.
The fireworks and music are presented by Itasca and Hamilton Partners, Inc., and sponsored by Hill Group, Omni Commercial Group, Arthur J. Gallagher, Earthwise, and the Daily Herald.
