What is the Pistakee Bay Fireworks Show?

The Pistakee Bay Fireworks show is a one-of-a-kind event held annually in Johnsburg, Illinois. It’s our very special way to celebrate our independence, held around 4th July each year. This spectacular fireworks show is enjoyed by thousands of residents from Johnsburg, McHenry County, Chicagoland and across Illinois.
