Canal Towns

Streator's 4th of July Celebration

Streator, IL

Dates: Jul. 2, 2022 - Jul. 10, 2022
Location: Northpoint Plaza and downtown Streator, Streator, IL

WEBSITE DIRECTIONS
The 2022 Streator's 4th of July Celebration will, again, be held at Northpoint Plaza and downtown Streator. The series will span 9 days. We feature fireworks, a parade, carnival, national music acts, food and beer garden, Run for Glory 5K, Emergency Vehicle Show, and much more.

Our large fireworks show will be held on July 10th - the best viewing will be from Northpoint Field in Streator.

This year's event headliners include the DOUBLE PLATINUM rock artist, Firehouse; The C.M.A., A.C.M., and Grammy award-winning country artist Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry; the ICONIC 90s alt-rock band, Everclear; Georgia's renegade redneck rap duo The LACS; and the chart-topping country group Confederate Railroad!

Support artists include Jack Russell's Great White, Fastball, The Nixons, Jordan Fletcher, NATU Band, and local favorite 80's BUSH.

In addition to the great bands, Streator's 4th of July Celebration hosts downstate Illinois's largest fireworks display. This year the best viewing area will be from Northpoint Field, right by the main stage. The show's soundtrack will be played off the main stage, thanks to Starved Rock Media! Chairs are welcome everywhere except inside the V.I.P. area.
