Happy Independence Day, Waukegan!

It's a beautiful, sunny day with a fresh breeze at Waukegan Municipal Beach! Families are already enjoying the beach, setting up grills, and making the most of the holiday.

Residents with a Waukegan City Vehicle Sticker park at the beach for FREE. Holiday parking passes are available at the beach entrance for $30 per vehicle for those without a City Vehicle Sticker. If you arrive on foot, by bike, or are dropped off at the entrance, there is NO admission fee.

Looking for free parking? FREE parking is available at the Metra station parking lots, as well as the downtown municipal parking lots.

The beach offers the best view of tonight's fireworks over Lake Michigan, but you'll also have fantastic views from Waukegan Harbor, the Waukegan Metra Station, and throughout downtown Waukegan. No matter where you choose to celebrate, we hope you enjoy a great Independence Day with family and friends.

Fireworks begin at 9:30PM.

As a reminder, leave the fireworks to the professionals. Personal fireworks are illegal in Waukegan and throughout Illinois. Enjoy the show, have fun, stay safe, and support our local businesses!
