Planning on watching the fireworks at Butler Lake?

Come early this year to hear live music performed by the Village Band. The performance will begin at 7:30 pm and last until dusk. Bring lawn chairs or blankets. Bring family and friends. Sit back and enjoy the weather, music, and the fact it’s Friday night. Let the patriotic tunes get you in the mood for the pinnacle of every 4th of July - fireworks.

What a holiday. A day off to barbecue with your favorite people followed by a night of free entertainment.

This Monday, May 26th is Memorial Day. It is the time of year we recognize the lives given by those in the Armed Services in order to protect our country and keep us safe.

As a tribute to this day and the people it recognizes, Libertyville is having a parade with several stops, starting at the train station. Its first destination, Cook Park, will be the location of the Memorial Day events. Once they are through, the parade will proceed to the Lakeside Cemetery, where the closing ceremonies will take place. Participants include the VFW, American Legion, Scout troops, various community organizations, and Libertyville High School Band.
