Miller Lite Beer Garden, Chicago
From May to October, the Miller Lite Beer Garden at Navy Pier emerges as Chicago's go-to destination for free, live, outdoor music shows. When you add in the bonus of free fireworks every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, you've got yourself the perfect cost-free evening!
The music often kicks off early with more than one band and there is plenty variety of beers, cocktails and summer snacks to match. Recent renovations in the area have also widened the walkway making it more comfortable to stroll by the docked boats, and there are many places for the picnic lunch you've planned, as well as great views from tables looking out over Lake Michigan, dotted with boats of every imaginable size.
