Venetian Night in Chicago?
 

Kristi mentioned Venetian night July 29th in Chicago. Could someone tell me what that's about and where they will be holding it? We will be in Chicago July 26-30. Thanks

At Venetian night people decorate their boats with white lights and you go down to watch them sail by. It's from 8:30 to 10:30 at Monroe Harbor I believe. This is the 43rd year of the event.

Kim: Thanks for the info. We are staying downtown Chi. I'm sure we can take a cab to the Monroe Harbor..sounds like fun.

After the boat parade, they also have fabulous fireworks. I think they rival the ones held on the 4th of July. The boat parade is held at Monroe Harbor, you can see the fireworks along the lakefront in the vicinity of Monroe Harbor. Last time we went, we watched from Navy Pier.

we are going to chicago approx. the middle of june. any suggestions on where to stay ( downtown - lakeshore ). plan on doing the tourist thing like museums, shopping, etc. would also like to go to a cubs game if they are in town,any advice on getting good tickets. any info on what to do & where to stay would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
