More information on Chicago Air & Water Show
Millions of Chicagoans flock to the Lake Michigan shoreline to watch as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights begin their terrifying daredevil displays. The show, held in August, can be viewed from just about anywhere along the lakefront, as long as no buildings or trees obstruct the view. If you insist on watching from North Avenue Beach, be sure to arrive by 9a to stake out a spot and bring plenty of water and sun tan lotion with you, because you'll be jockeying for position all day long.
