One of Chicago's biggest holiday is fast approaching -- July Fourth. The holiday is marked with several free events in Chicago, including:

  • A music festival in Grant Park featuring patriotic songs.
  • Fireworks at Navy Pier.
  • Fourth of July cruises on Lake Michigan.
  • And more.

Check out our list of July Fourth events in Chicago and make plans for your red, white and blue activities. We also have a list of fireworks and July 4 parades in Chicago and the suburbs.
