Like last summer, there will be no fireworks display to commemorate the holiday, and it will once again begin with a remembrance ceremony.
With summer fast approaching, the City of Highland Park is unveiling its plans for Independence Day, nearly two years after a gunman opened fire on a crowd of unsuspecting parade-goers. This year, however, a Fourth of July parade is set to return with a new route and a community-focused theme: "Sweet Home Highland Park .""We're a resilient community, we are here for one another, we are working towards moving forward," Mayor Nancy Rotering told FOX 32 Chicago on Wednesday.
The parade will kick off at 1 p.m. on an adjusted route."We will be moving down to Laurel Avenue, and we will pick up Central Avenue at Green Bay Road," said Rotering.The day will end with 4th Fest at Sunset Woods Park from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., where carnival games, a petting zoo and food trucks will be part of an array of family-friendly activities.
