Naperville Fireworks

When: Thursday, July 4th @ 9:30PM

Where: Ribfest – Knoch Park, Aurora Ave & Washington St

Parking / Information: Free parking is extremely limited. You may be able to find some street parking in the neighborhoods west of Knoch Park, but that is not guaranteed (and you may need to walk for a mile or so to the park. Plan to walk to the fireworks or take a free shuttle. Get to the fireworks early; due to capacity issues, Naperville may deny entry to the park.

Only go to the Naperville fireworks display if you are already attending Ribfest. If you don’t mind fighting huge crowds to view a fireworks display that is no more impressive than many of the other DuPage County displays, then go to Naperville. Ribfest is a great time, but if I were only going out for fireworks, I’d go elsewhere.

A rain date has been set for July 7 at 9:30PM.

Oak Brook Fireworks
