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. Throughout its history it has undergone several transformations; initially serving as a vital port for Great Lakes commerce, it later fell into disrepair before undergoing a major redevelopment project completed in 1995. Today, Navy Pier functions primarily as a public space offering attractions like restaurants, shops, parks, performance venues and exhibition halls. It remains one of Chicago’s most visited tourist destinations and hosts numerous public events annually. The pier's Aon Grand Ballroom is a historically significant venue having hosted many notable performances over the decades.
