The Chicago Fireworks Music Cruise

The perfect companion to The Chicago Water Music, The Chicago Fireworks Music Cruise offers a rare opportunity to hear Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks in its original instrumentation (winds, brass, and percussion) while cruising Lake Michigan on the Odyssey Lake Michigan. Navy Pier's first fireworks of the season provide a festive conclusion to the evening.
