For the second year in a row, Navy Pier won’t be lighting up the sky on the Fourth of July. Planning for this event begins in March, thus the timeline as it relates to COVID was incredibly uncertain this year. Navy Pier President and CEO Marilynn Gardner said in a statement, “Navy Pier is committed to delivering safe, quality experiences, and an event of this nature typically requires months of advanced planning, which we were not able to implement this year due to uncertain timelines related to COVID-19 cases and restrictions in Illinois and Chicago,”

Justin will be passing out sparklers on the 4th at Navy Pier.
