The Village of Lake Bluff and its partners are planning a series of events throughout 2026 to celebrate America250, with the excitement building to the much anticipated July 4th parade and continuing well after. These events will be fun and educational—showcasing Lake Bluff’s contributions to our country’s history, and strengthening our community’s bond with the nation.
