4th of July Events and Activities in Champaign-Urbana

In Champaign-Urbana and beyond, marking Independence Day means more than a week of celebrations: parades, craft days, festivals, fireworks and more. So don’t be surprised to see that a lot of this Fourth of July revelry actually takes place on days other than the actual holiday.

But hey — why limit the celebrations to just one day? That seems to be the mantra throughout East Central Illinois. The best news: many of these events are completely free! Any admission prices are indicated where applicable.

Remember that weather conditions may affect these events so always check with organizers before heading out.
