Navy Pier, located on the Chicago shoreline of Lake Michigan, originally opened in 1916 as a municipal pier intended to house commercial shipping and recreational facilities. Throughout its history, it has served various purposes including a hub for lake cruises, a venue for expositions like the 1933-34 World’s Fair “A Century of Progress”, and a space for public gatherings. By the 1970s the pier had fallen into disrepair but underwent significant redevelopment in the 1990s transforming it into a popular tourist destination. Today, Navy Pier features attractions such as the Centennial Wheel, restaurants, shops, performance venues including the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Polk Bros Park, and hosts numerous festivals and events annually.
