The words “HP STRONG” sits near a Highland Park sign after seven people were killed and at least two dozen were wounded on July 4th during a mass shooting Sunday July 10, 2022 in Highland Park, Ill. Community plans for Independence Day in Highland Park are well underway, as this year will mark two years since a gunman opened fire on the community’s annual Fourth of July parade, taking seven lives and injuring dozens more.
The Independence Day events will start with an indoor remembrance ceremony at Highland Park High School at 10 a.m., when the first shots were fired in 2022. Attendees will need to register for the event ahead of time. Best-in-show awards will be divided by category: neighborhood, community organization and businesses. Applications for parade participation opened on Monday and will close on May 31.
