Many across the Chicago area will be celebrating the Fourth of July a day early, with several suburbs holding holiday festivities and displays on Friday.
Some locations have already held their holiday celebrations and others may be holding out for Saturday, but with Friday being a federal holiday, there will be no shortage of locations to check out.
Some suburbs will also be cracking down on unofficial fireworks displays in a big way, so sticking to the professional shows might be the best bet.
Here is a list of firework shows to check out July 3 across the region:
