Wauconda, IL

Independence Day Fireworks Display 2020 CANCELEDThe annual Independence Day fireworks are a favorite community event that offers an opportunity for neighbors and friends to celebrate a family oriented evening together on beautiful Bangs Lake.

Due to the high cost of production, the Village relies on generous donations from our local governmental agencies, organizations, homeowner associations, residents, and businesses that believe in the significance of this patriotic event.

Please consider a donation to our annual celebration. No amount is too small! The Village acknowledges all contributors here on the Village website and in all Village electronic communications.

Contributors of $1000 or more are identified as Patriot Sponsors. Their names are posted on a large sponsor board in front of Village Hall on Main Street as well as announced on social media. 

A Contributor Form is provided below for your convenience. Please submit it along with your contribution. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Alise Coulter at 847-526-9600, or by e-mail at acoulter@wauconda-il.gov.
