Fireworks, parade will be part of Lisle's Fourth of July celebration

While Lisle's Eyes to the Skies festival was canceled for a second straight year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the village board this week approved a slew of ordinances to allow for a Fourth of July weekend with fireworks and a parade.

A free, 25-minute fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. July 3 at Community Park, 1825 Short St. Families are invited to bring their blankets and chairs to watch the display.

The parade is scheduled to step off at 10 a.m. July 4 from Lisle Junior High School at 5207 Center Ave. The parade route then proceeds east on Jonquil Avenue, north on Main Street, west on School Street, south on Center Street, ending at the Museums at Lisle Station Park, 921 School Street.
