No City of Chicago fireworks this year

The Chicago Park District has confirmed that there will be no 4th of July fireworks hosted by the City this year along the lakefront. Last year the City tried something new, hosting three smaller shows along the lake rather than one large display downtown, but do due budget constraints the City appears to be getting out of the fireworks business all together. There will still be a show hosted by Navy Pier.
