Prior to the parade, the Wreath Ceremony will be held at 11am, to honor all of the men and women who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Boat Tours and Fireworks Cruises

The beaches are opening this weekend, but thats not the only way to get out and enjoy the water. Hop aboard one of the boat tours, architecture cruises or water taxis at any time of day for a fantastic and unforgettable sightseeing trip in Chicago. Many of the boat tours in Chicago run all day long, with entertaining guides who will teach you all about the city. These boat tours can be fast and adventurous or completely luxurious, and you can enjoy a boat tour or sightseeing cruise in Chicago by day, at sunset, or at night. This is a particularly good weekend (as is every weekend during the summer) because the night cruises provide a great view of the Navy Pier fireworks show!
