Chicago Air and Water Show Offers Excitement for All Ages

The annual Chicago Air and Water Show is coming to the city August 15-16. As the largest air and water show in the United States, this event draws crowds from all over the city, state, and nation. The show began in 1959, and it just celebrated its 50th anniversary. Since its humble beginnings as a Family Day Celebration, the Air and Water Show has grown to be the largest spectator event in the U.S.

Performers in this year’s air show include the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights and Leap Frogs, Aeroshell Acrobatic Team, Lima Lima Flight Crew, and the Firebirds. Each team will take to the air to show off their flying skills, performing stunning stunts that will amaze you. Each day features both air and water performances from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show takes place at the North Avenue Beach on Lakeshore Drive. Admission for this event is free.

Because admission to the show is free, you will have more money to make the most of your visit to Chicago. We offer many lodging options near the Air and Water Show and throughout Chicago. The W Chicago Lakeshore is the hotel closest to North Avenue Beach and Lake Michigan. The W is also close to Navy Pier, which offers legendary Chicago attractions, including the Ferris Wheel. Other sites close to The W include Wrigley Field, home of the legendary Chicago Cubs, John Hancock Tower, and Northwestern University. For relaxation and recreation, The W features the Bliss Spa Chicago as well as on-site restaurants.

To make the weekend of water activities complete, make reservations to join a sightseeing or dinner cruise on Lake Michigan. The Skyline Boat Tour and the Spirit of Chicago Lunch & Dinner Cruises offer an afternoon evening of sightseeing in style while cruising on Lake Michigan. The Skyline Boat Tour features some of the best sightseeing in Chicago, and you will be able to enjoy the Chicago Skyline from the water.
