Is it Time to Get Your Head in the Clouds?
So, you wanna know what time the Chicago Air and Water Show is, huh? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive deeper than a stunt plane.
The Show Must Go On... and On... and On
Let’s get this straight: the Chicago Air and Water Show is a phenomenon. It's like the Super Bowl, but with planes, boats, and way less commercials. Unless you count the ones you see on the jumbotron. But we digress.
The show typically runs from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday. But let's be real, who's counting hours when you’re mesmerized by jets doing flips and boats doing tricks?
Where's the Best Seat in the House?
Okay, so you know when the show is, but where should you plant your butt? Well, the entire Lakefront from Fullerton to Oak Street is basically your personal VIP section. But if you're looking for a prime spot, North Avenue Beach is the place to be. Just remember, early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the best view.
What About the Weather?
We know, we know. You're gonna ask about the weather. It's Chicago, after all. The weather here is as predictable as a squirrel on a treadmill. But fear not! The show usually goes on rain or shine. Just bring a poncho and some snacks, and you're golden.
So, You Want to Be a Pilot?
Look, we’re not saying you should quit your day job and join the Blue Angels, but the Air and Water Show is definitely inspiring. Maybe you’ll see something that sparks your inner Top Gun. Who knows?
