Huntley moved its firework show near me tonight to 9:30 p.m. Sunday after overnight storms and Saturday rain chances disrupted several Fourth of July events across the Chicago area. The change gives holiday planners a new target time, while other communities around Chicagoland saw cancellations or postponements.
ABC7 Chicago reported that fireworks shows were expected across the Chicago area this weekend, but multiple events were canceled or pushed back when weather changed the schedule. Naperville canceled its fireworks show on Saturday, and Batavia postponed its fireworks to Sunday evening.
Chicago area cancellations
The list of changes reached several communities at once. Arlington Heights canceled its drone show, Elgin canceled its Fourth of July celebration and fireworks, and Glen Ellyn canceled its Fourth of July celebration. Lombard’s fireworks display was canceled, and Streamwood’s fireworks display was canceled as well.
Park Forest canceled its Fourth of July celebration, including the parade, live entertainment, and fireworks. Northbrook canceled its Fourth of July Parade, while South Holland canceled its Fourth of July events and said its fireworks display will be rescheduled. Country Club Hills also said its fireworks will move to a new date.
Huntley and Batavia timing
For readers searching for a firework show near me tonight, the practical takeaway is that the holiday weekend remains in motion even after the first round of weather changes. Huntley’s new 9:30 p.m. Sunday time gives the event a clear reset point, and Batavia’s shift to Sunday evening keeps its display on the weekend calendar.
That sequence fits the way weather disruptions usually reshape holiday schedules: the first step is cancellation when conditions threaten safety or timing, and the next step is a new date only if organizers can absorb the delay. Here, some communities stopped their events outright, while Huntley and Batavia kept theirs alive by moving them later.
Sunday evening changes
People planning around the holiday now have to check whether a canceled event was simply dropped or whether it was moved to another date. In this update, Huntley and Batavia both landed on Sunday, while several other Chicago-area communities lost their fireworks, parades, or celebration plans to the weather.
The clearest unresolved piece is which of the postponed fireworks displays will hold their new Sunday times without another change. For now, the most concrete update is Huntley’s 9:30 p.m. Sunday start, with Batavia set for Sunday evening and the rest of the affected Chicago area communities already adjusting their holiday plans.
