Get ready for the Great American Lobster Fest – the ultimate seafood celebration on Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier, held the same weekend as the impressive Chicago Air & Water Show. Sink your claws into fresh Maine lobster flown in daily from the East Coast, sip on ice-cold drinks, browse craft vendors, and jam to live music performances – all while fighter jets and aerial acrobatics thunder overhead in a sky-high spectacle you won’t find anywhere else. Not into seafood? We’ve got you covered with plenty of non-seafood favorites, from BBQ to sweet treats, to please every palate. It’s a family-friendly festival on the lakefront with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline as your backdrop, setting the scene for an unforgettable summer weekend.
