Update from the Committee

Parade Safety

The Lake Bluff 4th of July Committee has always worked closely with the Village's Police and Fire Departments to ensure the safety of parade entrants and attendants on the 4th of July. Lake Bluff’s Police Department provides traffic control and public safety services throughout the day. They also recruit and manage the volunteers of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary Unit, whom provide additional support on parade day.

Join the Parade Committee

Love Lake Bluff's Parade? Want to be more involved in the community? Join the Lake Bluff 4th of July Committee. The committee is the all-volunteer, non-profit organization that hosts the annual Lake Bluff 4th of July Parade. 

Planning and running the parade is no small feat and there is always a need for more volunteers. Parade committee members participate in monthly meetings, make decisions about the parade and lend expertise in areas of knowledge or interest.

Committee roles include treasury, finance, sponsorship, information technology, parade content, book production, public relations, communications, social media and VIP management and logistics.

If you have an interest in learning about volunteer opportunities, please contact us at info@LB4July.org
