Those looking to watch Fourth of July fireworks displays in the Chicago area will have plenty of options, but not as many as you might think.
That’s because several suburbs held their holiday festivities on July 3, and some won’t be holding any at all.
Others may have added restrictions. In one Chicago suburb, non-residents will be charged to witness their fireworks show.
When you’ll have the chance to see fireworks depends on where you live.
