Mayor Lori Lightfoot dropped the news on the city Friday — there will indeed be a 4th of July fireworks display on the lakefront.

Ever since Navy Pier said they were cancelling for the second year in a row, we thought the city would step — and did they ever.  They say the display will be a “high-altitude show” — meaning fireworks will blow up much higher in the air.  You should have a good vantage point anywhere from Grand Ave. down to 55th St.

Saturday night.  9:30PM.  Crank up the alt playlist and enjoy!  — [eric]
