Fireworks

Love or hate it; the event has become a longstanding Fourth of July tradition at Winnemac Park: a spontaneous yet unofficial and very illegal fireworks show where amateur pyrotechnics put on a show well into the night.

CHICAGO — For the first time ever, Winnemac Park on the northwest side will host an official 'Fourth of July' celebration, but the catch is that there won't be any fireworks.It comes after years of illegal and disruptive fireworks shows that have drawn crowds and controversy.While it has brought in crowds year after year, it's also ruffled feathers with many in the community.

The day, which includes a disc golf tournament, a yoga class, face painting, and tattoos, as well as live entertainment with several food trucks, aims to bring the community together after a neighborhood survey showed that nearly 40% of residents dreaded the fourth of july… citing disruptive fireworks and activity that would go on well after midnight.'I know people with an autistic child. It has always been a difficult night for them. We know plenty of people with dogs.
