You can fall in love under Navy Pier’s first-ever Valentine’s Day fireworks show on Saturday night.
The fireworks, which begin at 9 p.m., aren’t the only festivities for the holiday.
Whether you’re out with friends, your significant other or enjoying a solo date, experience the Tunnel of Love, a mixology class, a private igloo or a cruise to celebrate love this year.
