Those planning to ring in the new year in downtown Chicago can plan to enjoy a 1.5-mile fireworks display along the lakefront and Chicago River at midnight.
“I’m thrilled that we are able to welcome back our New Year’s Eve fireworks and hope to continue this tradition into the future,” Lightfoot said in the statement. “Importantly, the display can be viewed outdoors where the spread of COVID-19 is less likely, so our residents and visitors should feel comfortable while masking up and social distancing or even watching safely from home. I look forward to welcoming a happy new year.
More information, including where to watch the display from in person and other activities planned around the city, is available at
