A Message from Mayor Rosenthal:

Congratulations Deerfield!

We have entered Phase 4 of Restore Illinois. We have reached this phase through our collective efforts. In Deerfield we took COVID-19 seriously. We stayed home, we washed our hands, we wore face coverings, and we social distanced. All of these precautions brought us to where we are. Just because we have more choices now doesn’t mean we should always choose them.

Remember, COVID-19 is still a threat. Before you make a choice, assess the risk to you and others and continue to make the smart, safe, and healthy choices that have gotten us this far. Our future depends on it.

Do it for you. Do it for your family. Do it for each other. #DoItForDeerfield!

Stay safe,
Harriet

Restore Illinois Phase 4 Guideline

Whether you’re a business owner, employee, or patron, these guidelines let you know what to expect when these take effect. The updated guidelines for all industries are available here.

July-August D-Tales Available Online

Don’t Use Illegal Fireworks

With the warm weather and family events, the Fourth of July should be a fun time with great memories, but please remember that the use of fireworks in Deerfield is significantly restricted by Village ordinance.

The best way to protect your family is to not use any fireworks at home. Many professional displays have been canceled due to COVID-19, but will be rescheduled for later this year.

Each July 4th, thousands of people nationwide, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks.

Moreover, there are many people, including our veterans, that are alarmed by unexpected fireworks – especially the ones they don’t know are coming. Unexpected fireworks can trigger a PTSD reaction. Please be compassionate and safe and do not use illegal fireworks.
