Fireworks Near Me: Beverly-Mt. Greenwood's 4th Of July 2020

CHICAGO — An official fireworks show won't occur in Beverly and Mount Greenwood in 2020. But not because of the coronavirus pandemic, because there isn't an official annual show planned in the 19th Ward neighborhoods anyway.

Most other towns in the nearby south suburbs, like bordering Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park, have canceled their shows this year due to the pandemic however.

But here are a few options that remain in the plans for the Independence Day holiday if you're willing to travel:

• In Orland Park, there's a concert planned for 7:30 p.m. on July 4 at Centennial Park before fireworks are set to explode around 9:30 p.m.
• Romeoville is having fireworks in three different parts of the village to make it easier to practice social distancing during the popular crowd-gathering event.
• Another fireworks show appears to be on in Mokena.
• A parade for essential workers will take place in lieu of a fireworks show in New Lenox.
