CHICAGO, IL — Independence Day might be the most popular time for people to check out fireworks, but the holiday is far from the only time during the summer to check out pyrotechnics in Chicago. Navy Pier will be setting off colorful displays twice weekly throughout the season, including three nights during the week of July 2.
The 2017 Aon Summer Fireworks shows at Navy Pier run at 9:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 10:15 p.m. Saturdays through Sept. 2, the Saturday before Labor Day, Sept. 4. The displays over Lake Michigan are synchronized to music and can be seen from the venue or aboard a night cruise.
