In Chicago, the place to see the fireworks is at the Navy Pier. On Friday, July 4, they will be sponsored by the Illinois Lottery and be going off at 9:30 p.m. USA Today even calls the Navy Pier "a favorite spot" and says the best views to see them are from the shoreline and from cruise boats on Lake Michigan. The fireworks will also have synchronized music and sound enhancing the display. According to a report, they'll be doing the same show the next night, as well, at around 10:15 p.m.
The Navy Pier 4th of July celebration isn't just about fireworks. It's also a daylong event full of music and beer. The Cirque Shanghai: Dragon's Thunder show will also be debuting with ticket prices from $15.90 to $19.90.
