Wheeling Freedom Fest  -
July 3rd through July 5th

The 2008 Freedom Fest celebration is getting a facelift! This year is going to be special as the Village hosts a three-day event at a new location. With the traditional festival site now being occupied by the construction of the new Village Hall building, the event is moving south onto the Park District property behind St. Joseph the Worker Church. In addition, because Independence Day falls on a Friday we have extended the hours of entertainment to 12:00am each night. 

This year’s event promises to deliver more multi-platinum recording artists, great food from Wheeling restaurants, an indoor Bingo breakfast, a terrific parade, a spectacular fireworks display and of course a multitude of children’s activities. It’s all the fun and family-friendly entertainment you have come to expect, with a new location and an extra day. Check your mailboxes, the Village website and Channel 17 for further details as they unfold!
