Enjoy Midwest's largest 4th of July parade! Living replicas of national monuments will be featured as a salute to our veterans. This year’s parade features more than 160 units of horses, clowns, jugglers, antique cars, the popular Iwo Jima presentation, servicemen and servicewomen, award-winning marching bands, colorful floats, dance troupes, sports heroes, and school groups. Fireworks at the lakefront start at dusk.
