Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, Arena Partners, Choose Chicago, and Navy Pier announced plans to welcome in the New Year with a 1.5-mile-long midnight fireworks display along the lakefront and Chicago River. These will be the largest fireworks display the City’s ever had and will be accompanied by a live simulcast from WGN. This year, with the COVID-19 pandemic still threatening the health and safety of Chicago residents, the City has introduced health guidelines that will encourage visitors and residents alike to celebrate safely. Promptly at midnight, a fireworks display choreographed to a special music soundtrack will light up the sky synchronized across eight separate launch sites along the Chicago River and in Lake Michigan near Navy Pier. The display will be free to view, courtesy of the City, Choose Chicago, and participating partners from across the hospitality community. The event is made possible by support from the City of Chicago and partners from the hospitality industry, which employs more than 90,000 workers.
