Celebrate 250 – Lake Bluff Style

Collage of various Lake Bluff events from the past plus this year's pond hockey in Lake Forest

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.
