The City of Elgin is gearing up for its annual Fourth of July Parade & Celebration on Saturday, July 4, 2026. This local favorite brings the community together for a morning of patriotic displays, followed by an evening of music and fireworks at Festival Park.
Note for Participants: If you are interested in entering a float or participating in the parade, registration typically opens in the spring and closes by early June. Keep an eye on the official City of Elgin website for the 2026 theme announcement!
