There's nothing much better than spending quality time with the family, and once the most patriotic holiday of the year rolls around, it only amps up the experience. The 4th of July brings out the best in us - and certainly the red, white and blue. This year, prepare to bring your family out to one of the biggest and most anticipated Independence Day events of the year in Chicago. Normally, we tend to wake up early on Independence day and try to get to the park as soon as possible to stake our claim. It isn't easy to get a good spot, and most of the time we end up losing interest by the time we get a good seat to catch the fireworks. This year, it's time to change the trend. One of Chicago's most popular yachts, The Kanan, is getting ready to take off into blue as their popular and highly anticipated Independence Day Family party is ready for the masses.

This family friendly event for all-ages features an open-bar for the adults, a massive BBQ buffet to satisfy your biggest hunger, and the best possible views of the fireworks at the Navy Pier. Expect this to be one phenomenal experience that you definitely will never forget. Make sure you get your tickets while you still can, this event will create some memories that last for years to come!

Due to high demand, cruise tickets are subject to price increases. Tickets prices will increase at the date gets closer to the event.
