It may very well be the longest July 4th celebration in Illinois, and perhaps the whole country.
From Friday, June 30, to Tuesday, July 4th, Bartlett will hold its annual Bartlett July 4th Festival to celebrate the nation’s founding.
The festival includes a carnival with rides and games, food, beverages, free entertainment, a parade, on-site presence for non profit groups, fireworks, and a great sense of community pride.
There is no charge to enjoy the Bartlett Festival. The festival, including bands and fireworks, is funded through the carnival, food, beverages purchases. (The Village of Bartlett, Police, and Park District provide financial contribution as well as manpower to support the event).
