In celebration of our 8th wedding anniversary, we headed down to Navy Pier to enjoy the evening. Dinner at Bubba Gump’s and popcorn from Garrett’s were both delicious, but the true highlight of the night was Cirque Shanghai – The Year of the Dragon. Beautiful backdrop, vibrant colors, and talented artists truly brought this show to life.
Cirque Shanghai returns to Chicago’s Navy Pier this summer with a magnificent new show “Cirque Shanghai: Year of the Dragon.” The production will run through September 3, 2012 (Labor Day), rain or shine, at the Navy Pier® Pepsi® Skyline Stage, the 1,500-seat, canopied, open-air theater on Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com/shanghai.
