PHOTOS: 4th of July Parade Includes Dancers, Floats, U.S. Rep. Kirk and Local Pols
Community comes together to celebrate holiday with floats and local music groups.
Northbrook's main streets were overrun with marching bands, drill teams, creative floats, politicians, Shriners and other local groups on Monday afternoon. The annual Fourth of July parade strolled down Cherry Lane from Western Avenue before turning onto Shermer Road and ending at the Village Green.
The parade is put on by the Northbrook 4th of July Association, an all volunteer organization that has managed the event since the late '60s. The parade does not receive funds from the Village or the Park District, although both entities help out.
"It's always a nice time," said Robert A. Brown, who has lived in Northbrook his entire life and attended the parades for as long as he can remember. "Lots of people, lots of floats. It's fun."
