2025 Illinois Fireworks
Hi Folks – welcome to Illinois Fireworks in 2025!
Not gonna lie, here. I do not have a clue how this year’s fireworks season is going to play out. As you can probably guess, most of the fireworks in the world come from China, and who knows what’s going to be available and what’s going to be affordable by the time summer gets here. It’s possible most of the usual displays will go on as they always have; it’s just as possible that some (many?) communities won’t be able to get them or afford them. Some communities may move to drone shows (sidebar – if you’d like me to track drone shows as well as fireworks, let me know. No guarantees I can do it but if there’s interest, I’ll look into it.)
I’m planning on ferreting out active fireworks displays like I do every year, but I don’t know yet what I’ll find. There might be a lot more cancellations and some of them might be last minute. I’ll update that here if I find out about it but I don’t always find out. Please keep that in mind before you yell at me for a wrong or changed listing.
YOU CAN HELP! If you know of a fireworks display in your area (or a change in a listing), please go ahead and send it to me (with as much info as you can) via email. It’s much faster for me to work off emails than to go out and try to find them. If there’s a website URL, even better! I sure would appreciate it.
Happy shooting – and watching!
