The City of DeKalb and DeKalb Park District is excited to host the annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration! Join DeKalb Park District in Hopkins Park for this annual tradition along with some NEW! daytime programming!  Enjoy a day of family fun in the park as we celebrate our nation’s independence. In order to keep both our two-legged and four-legged friends safe this holiday, dogs will be prohibited from entering Hopkins Park after NOON on July 4.
