NAPERVILLE, IL — It's official: Naperville Salute will replace Ribfest for the city's Fourth of July weekend festivities. The two-day festivities, set for July 3 and 4, will feature live music, the Taste of Naperville and the annual Fourth of July fireworks show.

The event, hosted by Naperville Responds to Veterans, will be held at Rotary Hill and at Naper Settlement, according to a recent news release. The news comes after Naperville Ribfest announced in late 2020 that it would be relocating amid ongoing plans to revamp Knoch Park. As a result, Ribfest will be held in Romeoville in 2020.
