Navy Pier Fireworks: Celebrate the 4th of July in spectacular fashion at Navy Pier, when the Independence Day Fireworks show lights up the skyline with pyrotechnic displays. Navy Pier is expec<ng a capacity crowd for the fireworks shows on Saturday and Monday, so plan to arrive early. With so many people, the choice of vantage point becomes crucial. There’s Freedom Fest 2016 on Navy Pier’s rookop, the Beer Garden, and the east end of Navy Pier where visitors seldom go. But the most exci<ng vantage point might well be the 200-foot-high Centennial Wheel. Note that there are separate fees for the Ferris wheel and Freedom Fest barbecue.
