Elgin Fireworks

Elgin's Fourth of July celebration will not include a concert at Festival Park for the first time in five years due to a late decision by Grand Victoria Casino, city officials said.

The casino, which was bought by Eldorado Resorts in August, won't host a concert as it had done in partnership with the city since 2014, but will continue sponsoring the fireworks celebration, city officials said. On Wednesday night, the Elgin City Council approved an agreement with Mad Bombers Fireworks for $40,000 to be reimbursed by the casino. The city expects to spend about $20,000 in staff time and rental materials, about the usual cost over the years.

NO FIREWORKS ON THE 4th of JULY.
