A “Racing, Music and Fireworks” spectacular this year at Arlington Park is slated to be the best fireworks in Chicagoland in 2011!
A amazing fireworks display is scheduled, which will run more than 30 minutes, will be synchronized to a mixture of patriotic and popular music, and will encompass the entire infield area of the racecourse.
Don’t take our word for it, come see for yourselves! The first 20,000 in attendance will receive 3D Fireworks Glasses, and the first 1,000 kids will receive a complimentary Firecracker Popsicle.
