The Chicago Air and Water Show is a magnificent spectacle that takes to the skies and lake. I still remember being a young lad and looking up in amazement as planes seemed to perform impossible stunts. My infatuation with aircrafts has slightly lessened into my old age but that doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate them. Now, I can just watch them do loopty-loops as these drink specials make me feel like I’m also doing loopty-loops.

Enjoy a beach party, live music, specials and more!
