The St. Charles Park District has a full day of activities planned on Thursday, July 4, 2013, starting at 8 a.m. and leading up to the Independence Day fireworks display at dusk.

There will be opportunities to swim, picnic, listen and dance to music, play mini golf or simply to stroll around one of St. Charles’s finest parks. Concessions also will be offered at River View Miniature Golf Concessions at Pottawatomie Park.

Music begins at 4 p.m. with the Fox Valley Concert Band performing until 5:30 p.m. in the park’s amphitheatre. Then, from 6 p.m. to dark, the Red Woody Concert Band will perform at the Historic Pavilion.

The fireworks begin at dark and are best viewed at Pottawatomie Park on the East Side of the Fox River, and at Ferson Creek Park, which is off Route 31 on the West Side. In the event of rain, the fireworks display will be scheduled for the next clear evening.

The Park District urges folks to come early, as parking is limited. In the past, the district has urged residents to park downtown and walk up the Riverwalk to Pottawatomie Park.

Tips the St. Charles Park District has offered in the past to those attending the fireworks display include:

• Please do not activate car alarms, which often are set off by fireworks.

• Please wait until the fireworks are complete before leaving the grounds, since car headlights interfere with others’ viewing.
