Streator turning the 4th of July into a five-day celebration

Very few cities celebrate the 4th like Streator.

Streator’s 4th gets going Wednesday with a carnival opening up in City Park at 5. The “Little Miss Sparkler & Mr. Firecracker” winners will be announced at 6:30 in the park followed by the preliminary round of 99.3 WAJK’s “Red, White, Blue & You Talent Competition”.

Streator’s 4th party continues all the way through Sunday with a parade. Fireworks will be Saturday night at the Streator High School football field.
