Top spots to watch the Chicago Air and Water Show 2023

Updated: Dec 21, 2023

The Chicago Air and Water show is NEXT WEEKEND! Here are the top spots to watch from:


blue angels at castaways chicago

Castaways! This one is my favorite. It's right on the beach but you get a table included in your ticket so you dont have to be at the beach super early to grab a spot plus the food buffet and open bar is included as well!

Tickets are $130 for practice on Friday and $160 for Saturday and Sunday 10am - 3pm


Theater on the Lake. A cheaper alternative to Castways is thater on the lake! There is a designated viewing area that you will have access to but you can bring your own chairs, blankets, etc. Food, beer, wine, and a variety of mixed drinks are included!

Tickets are $100 per person


blue angels at north avenue beach chicago

North Ave Beach: Right in the middle of all the action! This is easily the cheapest option. It's free to grab a spot and BYOFood. Get there early to save your spot!


Rooftop bars - make reservations!


Charter a boat! This is the best way to get up close and personal with the jets! There are tons of boat rental sites to charter a boat in Chicago but ill list a few of my faves below. some of the boats docked at Navy Pier will do air show cruises as well!

Air and water show weekend is my all-time favorite weekend here in Chicago and this year it's even more special because it's my bachelorette party weekend! Follow me on Insta to spend the weekend with me!

Until next time!
