Ottawa's Fireworks Display

Celebrate America's Birthday in Ottawa, Illinois with Fireworks on the 4th! Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and join us at the High School or along the Illinois River for a spectacular show! Join us before the fireworks begin for Xmas in July for Bianchi's Pizza and pop. Starting at 7:30 p.m. winners of "Ottawa (First's) Got Talent" will perform on Ottawa Township High School's King Field, while being broadcast on WCMY-Radio. Make sure to be watching the sky between 9 and 9:30 p.m. as skydivers from Skydive Chicago will be landing on the field during the "Star-Spangled Banner." Local veterans from American Legion Post 33, VFW Post 2470 and AMVETS will present the colors on the field at approximately 9:20 p.m. and the fireworks display will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. where the Illinois meets the Fox River. Concessions will be available at OTHS.
