Ah…summertime in The Windy City. What would summer be without The Chicago Air and Water Show? The Show, originating as part of a “Family Day Celebration” back in the summer of 1959, is the largest free show of its kind in the United States and can be viewed along the Michigan lakefront from Fullerton to Oak Street, with North Avenue Beach as the focal point. Pack your picnics, get the beach blankets ready and bring the whole family for events the whole family can enjoy. The 58th annual show runs August 20 – 21 from 10 am – 3 pm both days.
