We’ve been waiting for this weekend all summer… Happy Fourth of July!

Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding communities offer up parades, fireworks, 5K races and so much more

This weekend is FULL of festivals and happenings just a short drive from Champaign-Urbana, so literally anything you could be looking for when it comes to Fourth of July fun can be found with the offerings we have to choose from. The complete list of Fourth of July events in our area can be found by visiting the chambanamoms.com Fourth of July events and activities post.

We know FIREWORKS are going to be a big draw this weekend, and hopefully our weather will cooperate a little better than it did last weekend so we can actually see some. In fact, if you wanted to see fireworks every night this weekend, you certainly could (again, weather permitting).

For a list of all the fireworks happening this weekend around Champaign-Urbana, check this list out.
