Despite being the country’s third-largest city, Chicago will not host an official fireworks show on Friday, July 4 this year. That’s right: no pyrotechnic finale over Navy Pier, no synchronized booms echoing down Michigan Avenue. But don’t worry, it’s not a fluke and it’s not new.

Those looking to watch Fourth of July fireworks displays in the Chicago area will have plenty of options, but not as many as you might think.

Bars and restaurants offer their own ways to enjoy Independence Day, including serving flights of red, white and blue drinks.
