Venetian Night in Chicago

Held each summer in late July, Venetian Night takes place on Chicago’s beautiful lakefront. The highlight of the show is the waterside parade on Lake Michigan involving approximately 35 decorated boats lit up with extravagant light displays and skippered by costumed crews.
