Unplug Illinois Day

Unplug Illinois Day is part of an ongoing, state-wide initiative to get communities to plug into play, plug into creativity and plug into activity. It gets people throughout Illinois to ditch their electronic devices and plug into fun and activities at local park and recreation agencies. Every year, on the second Saturday of July, Unplug Illinois Day encourages people to ‘plug into’ all of the recreational opportunities their local park and recreation agencies offer.

On July 13, 2024, the state local park and recreation agencies hosted a variety of events to celebrate Unplug Illinois Day.
