Don't Go Looking for Fireworks Today

Happy July 3rd, the day Chicago used to celebrate by setting off fireworks while most cities, neighborhoods, and suburbs waited for the actual holiday, July 4th.

Well this has changed for a variety of reasons and the annual fireworks will be held on July 4th at Navy Pier and locations south of the city and north of the city. In our opinion this is probably a good thing seeing how the past couple of years have seen SOOOOOOOOOOO many people converge on Grant Park and the surrounding areas.

The goal was to give people other options and hopefully keep the numbers a little lighter...we will see. Regardless, if you're looking to watch fireworks today you're not going to find them (unless you have your own).

Happy 4th of July and enjoy the fireworks tomorrow!
