Our private spectator tents, located just south of the circle drive, offer stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline as the Blue Angels, Golden Knights and more take to the skies and water below. Expect aerial acrobatics, parachute demonstrations and captivating water performances — all from an upscale, open-air setting.
Guests will enjoy unlimited beer, wine and handcrafted cocktails all afternoon, paired with a hearty lunch buffet from Chicago's favorite, Smoque BBQ.
