Notes/Analysis
* = Fireworks event during summer months, Wednesdays at 9pm and Saturdays at 10pm
** = Annual “Rally for Life” and counterprotest possibly larger and more disruptive given recent actions by U.S. Supreme Court
*** = Parade route remains north of Loop, yet street closures are extensive and crowds could exceed 500,000 depending on weather
