celebrating 250 years of american history

Mark your calendars for one of Navy Pier’s longest free fireworks shows yet. This Independence Day, we proudly celebrate 250 years of American history with a lakefront celebration worthy of the milestone.

Join us for an extended 15-minute fireworks spectacular, fully choreographed to music and set against Chicago’s iconic skyline, honoring the spirit of independence, resilience, and community that has defined our nation for two and a half centuries.
