Come Celebrate Venetian Night on Saturday, July 25th!

Venetian Night is the longest running event produced by the City of Chicago.  This year’s theme, “Hollywood on the Lake” will be brought to life as boats decorated with lights and props will sail along beautiful Lake Michigan, between the Shedd Aquarium at Roosevelt Road and the Chicago Yacht Club at Monroe Street. 
 
The Boat Parade begins at 8:15pm with fireworks to follow, but spectators will begin arriving as early at 9:00am in order to secure a good view of the event.  Admission is free and spectators are encouraged to take public transportation, walk or bike to this event.  There will be heavy traffic in Grant Park near the lakefront and some street closures may occur as needed.  For more information, please visit the Mayor’s Office of Special Events website.
