Evanston’s 96th annual Fourth of July parade on Tuesday celebrated the community’s first responders.

Starting at 2 p.m. and moving along Central Street, the parade drew hundreds of visitors from the local area. Produced entirely by private funds and volunteers, the parade is a long-standing tradition of Chicago’s North Shore neighborhoods.
