According to a village spokesperson, the display which has been held annually in Itasca for nearly three decades, will not take place this year due to nearby construction.
The display is usually held at Hamilton Lakes business park, located in the 500 block of East Devon Avenue, but officials said that because of construction that is scheduled to take place in and around the area, the fireworks display would be “logistically unfeasible”
“This was an extremely difficult decision to make,” Village Administrator Carie Anne Ergo said in a press release. “Itasca takes great pride in hosting the biggest and best fireworks show in Northern Illinois. Our first priority is always the safety and security of Itasca residents, businesses and visitors. Given the unique challenges presented this year, we cannot confidently recommend hosting fireworks in 2025.”
While this year’s event is canceled, there is potential that the show could return next year. Officials said the village will reevaluate the feasibility of hosting fireworks again in 2026 this fall.
Until then, officials said the Village Board has directed staff to “look at ways to repurpose the funds by supporting other community events in 2025.”
