The weather stopped the show last weekend, with wind speeds and rain forcing organizers to reschedule to Saturday.
The Venetian Night boat parade returned to Lake Michigan at Monroe Harbor for the first time since 2014.All of the boats were decked out along the lake for Venetian Night. People lined up near Monroe Harbor with a front-row seat to the festivities, many of them thankful to see this event back on Lake Michigan for the first time since 2014."This is my first time for about 20 years," Bob Hernandez said. "I used to come with my mom.
"This is a Venetian vibe. If you can imagine gondolas going through bridges in Venice, this is Chicago's rendition. Venicio in Chicago," said Trevian Kutti, a Venetian Night organizer. Organizers said Mayor Richard Daley stopped it back in 2014, because it was too costly for the city. And, in the last two years, Venetian Night returned in a smaller fashion, on the river, but it got too big once again.
And, people can't get enough of this special summertime tradition, giving a real sense of community with people lined up next to each other in their lawn chairs to take it all in.
