Fourth of July Fireworks

Celebrate our Country's birth with your friends and neighbors on the 4th of July. The fun begins with a concert of patriotic music performed by the Village Band at 7:30 p.m. at the Butler Lake Band Shell. A spectacular fireworks display will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. 

For safety reasons, Lake Street will close to pedestrians and vehicle traffic at 9: 00 p.m. before the show. Parking will be available at Butler Lake Park (residents only), the main commuter lot, both parking garages, and Butterfield School.

Dog Days of Summer

The 15th annual event will occur thanks to the cooperation of the Knights of Columbus. Libertyville is the site for the "Dock Dogs Regional Finals." You can watch as 100 nationally ranked jumping dogs run down a 40 foot dock and jump into a 27,000 gallon pool of water for longest distance in the middle of Church Street. In addition to the three-day non-stop dog jumping competition, doggie- oriented events and 30+ vendors will be in Cook Park throughout the weekend. 

Head to Cook Park July 5th-7th.  To view the event schedule click here. 

Business Grant Application Period Open

Applications are being accepted for two local business grant programs aimed at strengthening the business community. The Village initiated the effort last year and has approved several Resiliency Grant projects for funding—assisting businesses in new website development and online sale platforms, adding equipment for expanded menu offerings and installing new product displays.  Grants include:

• Business Resiliency Grant: Encourages existing business growth, expansion and sustainability through matching grants of up to $5000, and is limited to customer facing, sales tax producing entities. Potential uses include, but are not limited to new online sales platform development, marketing plans and efforts, equipment acquisition, added projecting signage, green/sustainable enhancements, etc.
• Facade & Property Enhancement Grant: Facilitates improvements to dated or deteriorated existing facades or site conditions on commercial buildings in certain commercially zoned districts outside the downtown (includes C-2 & C-3), through matching grants up to $25,000.

Approved projects will have 12 months for completion. Reimbursement occurs upon completion. As projects are intended to be business enhancements which facilitate growth, please understand that maintenance, replacement, operational, and previously completed project costs cannot be considered. The application deadline is ongoing subject to funding availability.  Additional information and the application booklet are available on the project website, at this link.

Sharps Disposal Program 

The Village is now offering a sharps disposal program to include: hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets and other sharp medical instruments. This program ensures materials are properly disposed of and prevents needles from entering solid waste streams.

To dispose of sharps, visit Fire Station 1 during regular office hours, Monday- Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4: 00 p.m.

It is requested that sharps that are brought in for disposal are stored in approved containers, however it is not required.
