Navy Pier, located on the Chicago shoreline of Lake Michigan, originally opened in 1916 as a municipal pier dedicated to freight, passenger transport, and recreational purposes. Over its history it served as a major transportation hub and hosted numerous public events. By the 1970s, the pier had fallen into disrepair but underwent extensive redevelopment in the 1990s transforming it into a popular tourist destination. Today, Navy Pier features attractions such as Centennial Wheel, restaurants, shops, performance venues including the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Polk Bros Park where outdoor concerts are commonly held. It remains a significant landmark for both Chicago residents and visitors alike, annually welcoming millions of guests.
