things to know
The Village provides security for the Fourth of July celebration to help create a safe, festive atmosphere for parade and fireworks participants and spectators. There will be a very large police presence on-site, and nearly every officer will be on shift. They will be assigned duties throughout the daytime and evening events. The Village has also brought in additional security personnel and resources to work the events.
The Village’s Safety Response Team, which has been trained to rapidly respond to any developing situation, will also be on-site. While some of these safety measures will be visible, others will not be, and we are keeping the full details of our security plan internal for the safety of all participants.
Please leave your personal fireworks, pets, drones and alcohol at home.
Please help us reduce our trash by taking everything that you bring into the park.
How You Can Help:
Use reusable items, including:
Reusable Drinking Bottles (Water refilling stations in the Park)
Bring food in containers
Bring Silverware & Napkins
Reusable Bags for your supplies
Avoid one-time use items & disposing of them in the park

The flag is a patriotic symbol that can be portrayed in many different places. As community members begin adorning their homes in red white and blue, we encourage you to read through the flag code to learn about the flag’s meaning and how to respectfully wave its colors.
