Last weekend was Chicago's 56th Annual
Air & Water Show at North Avenue Beach. I hadn't been to this since middle school - and even then we watched from inside a condo - so I was excited to check this out.
It was the only night of the year besides the 4th of July Fireworks where the entire city comes out on the lakefront. Arriving shortly after the 10 a.m. start time, the lakefront was already packed. Speakers on the side of the path stream live emceeing from men inside the planes, who introduce what's going to happen in the air before you watch it. The announcers and planes were phenomenal, the weather was beautiful and all of it was entirely free. It felt like the city of Chicago was in the Hunger Games and that at any point of time, someone on the speakers could ask for a tribute.
If you missed it this year, I highly recommend it for the future. Check out some photos!
