Chicago Air and Water Show
North Avenue Beach
August 20-21, 2011
Get ready, get set, and fly! The annual Chicago Air and Water Show takes North Avenue Beach by storm the weekend of August 20th and 21st. Featuring Thunderbirds, Golden Knights, and the United States Navy Parachute Team.
Bring earplugs for your little ones or for yourself if you've got hearing sensitivity, as this event is LOUD. I've been listening/watching the rehersals for the past two days and I can hear the plans swooping overhead through the thick walls of my brick building office in Lincoln Park.
While North Avenue Beach seems to be the epicenter of this event, and probably the most crowded spot to watch, the show can be viewed as far north as Fullerton Ave and as far south as Oak Street Beach.
Because social media is the thing now, you can follow the air and water show via Twitter: @AirAndWaterShow for up to date commentary. If you're lucky enough to snag a seat at Oak Street Beachstro or Castaways, you can enjoy the show while sipping on cocktails.
