Introduction

The Navy Pier, located on the shore of Lake Michigan, is a popular tourist destination. The 1000-meter-long pier offers various amusement facilities, including a Ferris wheel, carousel, cinema, theater, restaurants of different sizes, and various types of boat docks. In addition, the Navy Pier also has a botanical greenhouse and a children's museum. During the hot summer days, many exciting events are held here, including outdoor art exhibitions, sailing festivals, and the most spectacular Independence Day fireworks display. From the Memorial Day weekend to the Labor Day weekend, the pier will display regular fireworks twice a week, at 9:30 pm on Wednesdays and 10:15 pm on Saturdays. Especially on Independence Day night, the crowds at the pier are exceptionally large, and people flock to watch the national fireworks display in a lively atmosphere.
