What happens on the day
This Chicago fireworks experience gives you the best seat for the city’s iconic fireworks display.
You’ll climb aboard a refurbished fire-fighting boat, once used by Chicago’s firefighters to defend the windy city. This floating museum includes photos of fire fighters as well as must-see artifacts that bring this courageous history to life. There is ample space aboard the boat and spots are limited to ensure a comfortable experience for all of the guests. You will depart just after sunset for a cruise over the cool Chicago waters.
Once you float into position near Navy Pier, you'll drop anchor, sit back, and watch a stunning display of fireworks. They'll burst to colorful life over the pier, their colors reflected in the shifting waters off the coast of the city. Watch as they mingle with the pointed lights of the city and capture stunning photos of the display that you'll cherish for a lifetime. You've never seen the city or Lake Michigan quite like this!
This 1.5-hour Chicago adventure gives you the best view of the city’s iconic fireworks display. You'll have plenty of time to unwind and chat with friends and fellow guests before and after the show. This experience is perfect for tourists and locals alike!
