For generations, the Fourth of July fireworks at Emricson Park have brought our community together to celebrate America, family, freedom, and tradition. This year, as our nation approaches the 250th Anniversary of the United States, we invite you to help make this celebration bigger and brighter than ever.

Since 1995, Woodstock’s annual Independence Day fireworks display has been 100% community funded. That means every burst in the sky is made possible by neighbors, families, local businesses, and supporters like you.

Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to continue producing one of the premier Fourth of July fireworks shows in Northern Illinois — right here in Woodstock.

🎆 Honor America 250 with a special $250 donation!
A contribution of $250 is a meaningful way to celebrate our nation’s milestone anniversary while helping preserve a beloved community tradition for future generations.

Every donation — large or small — goes directly toward the fireworks show.

Join us on July 4 at dusk at Emricson Park for an unforgettable evening of celebration, community, and patriotic spirit. Walk-in access will be available through the South Street and Jackson Street entrances. Concessions will be available for purchase, and parking inside the park will be available via the South Street entrance for a $20 fee.

Whether you give $25, $250, or any amount in between, your support helps keep this tradition alive.

Thank you for helping light up the skies over Woodstock this Independence Day!
