Fireworks at Arlington Park as viewed from Wilke Road, just south of Northwest Highway. Recommended set it to 720p and expand (lower, right controls).
The fireworks display at Arlington Park was given top ratings by citizens who viewed the July 2nd showing Saturday night. People filled the grandstand and lined the streets surrounding the race track.
A large crowd enjoyed the fireworks at Northwest Highway and Wilke Road near Jimmy D’s, and also lined the streets down Wilke Road and down Northwest Highway.
