The City of Chicago will highlight the Chicago Riverwalk’s free summer programming during a public celebration running Monday, May 13, through Sunday, May 19. Activities include Year of Chicago Theatre themed programs, Art on theMART, walking tours led by the Chicago Architecture Center, Fishing at the Jetty led by the Chicago Park District and a pyrotechnic display off of the south drive of the Merchandise Mart on Monday, May 13. The Chicago Riverwalk has transformed Chicago’s downtown waterfront into an active, pedestrian friendly environment and a cultural destination for both residents and tourists alike. It has emerged as a must-visit destination in the heart of our city offering dramatic views of the “River Canyon” of iconic architecture and beautiful bridges and a uniquely Chicago experience with bustling bars and restaurants, cultural events and public art. The Department of Fleet and Facility Management is wrapping up a $12 million improvement project on the east end of the Chicago Riverwalk, including a new path, landscaping, updated lighting and seating to enjoy the view of the Chicago River.
