Lake Bluff 4th of July Celebration

Celebrating our nation's independence since 1911

Update from the Committee

2021 Parade Planning is Underway.

The Village of Lake Bluff enthusiastically embraces its patriotic past every 4th of July, which has made Lake Bluff a top North Shore destination for celebrating our country’s independence. The committee is hoping that packed parade routes, patriotic front-lawn parties and the beloved parade will be back again this July. However, if a full-blown parade is not possible, the committee will still find a way to celebrate the 4th of July in Lake Bluff.

But, “It Takes A Village” to throw a parade (including last year's pop-up parades). And we need your help. Lake Bluff's 4th of July celebrations are not possible without the generous support from our friends, local merchants and area businesses.

Please consider supporting the parade and making a tax-deductible donation today.

The Lake Bluff 4th of July Committee is pleased to announce “It Takes a Village” as its 2021 parade theme. This will be the 111th Annual Lake Bluff Parade, which celebrates both our local community and the country’s independence.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives and challenged our community. But through it all, we have witnessed how resilient Lake Bluff can be,” said George Chemers, president of the Lake Bluff 4th of July Committee. “We’ve come together to help those in need; we’ve rallied for our front-line workers; we’ve embraced our local restaurants and businesses. We’ve truly demonstrated the power of community! And that is why the committee has selected "It Takes a Village" as this year’s theme.”
