It was a community celebration that marked the start of two incredibly productive years at Navy Pier. We have been hard at work, transforming Chicago’s lakefront treasure into a one-of-a-kind urban oasis. In 2016 alone, we welcomed a record-breaking 9.3 million guests.

Our goal is to inspire creativity, discovery and wonder. In 2016, we launched a rich and imaginative schedule of arts programs packed with the talents of more than 1,000 performers from local cultural partners. Our comprehensive Arts & Discovery Framework included nearly 100 community partners, artists and residents, that led to this multitude of free public programs. From outdoor movies in the park to jazz concerts to interactive art installations and dance performances and much more, the People’s Pier showcases free entertainment for all. Traditional ethnic celebrations including Carnivale, the Chinese New Year celebration, and the Hindu festival of Holi transform the Aon Grand Ballroom. These robust new programs complement existing events like Navy Pier’s Fifth Third Bank Winter WonderFest attended annually by 250,000 guests. Our programming represents the rich diversity of Chicago neighborhoods and unites communities from all over the city and the world.

We proudly offer our more than 250 programs year-round at no cost to the public. Navy Pier’s free public programming is made possible through its legacy partnership with Polk Bros. Foundation and generous gifts from other civic-minded foundations, corporations and individual donors.

Navy Pier’s inaugural fundraising event in 2017 was a spectacular night of celebration and appreciation. More than 600 guests gathered to honor Navy Pier legacy partner, Polk Bros. Foundation, and celebrate our many new committed partners for their valuable contributions to the Pier’s transformation. The Aon Grand Ballroom came alive with the magnificent sounds of the Pier’s local cultural partners and the irresistible aromas of Chicago-inspired cuisine straight from the kitchens of our fantastic on-site restaurant partners. Guests experienced the Pier’s spectacular panoramic views projected on custom-built 360-degree screens and LED panels encircling the room, bringing the outside in. The evening was an overwhelmingly powerful display of the strength in partnerships raising an epic $1.7 million to support the Pier’s free public programming. It was a night to remember and an unforgettable way to kick-off Navy Pier’s second century.
