Itasca officials seek to bring back the popular Fourth of July fireworks show, but COVID-19 still poses some challenges.
Officials met Tuesday night to discuss putting on the show with partner Hamilton Lakes Business Park after the pandemic forced the village to cancel it last year. The fireworks display is one of the largest in the suburbs, bringing an average of 25,000 viewers.
Although village board members want to host the event in some capacity, the question of how the event will take place was not immediately clear and likely won t be until late March.
Mayor Jeff Pruyn was clear on what will not be included at the event. No live music will be played and there are no food vendors planned for the event this year.
