The Beach Chicago

Saturday, Jan 19, 201911 AM — Sunday, Feb 3, 20195 PMCST

Navy Pier, Aon Grand Ballroom Chicago, IL, US Chicago, IL, US | Navy Pier, Aon Grand Ballroom

Free and open to the public! Created by New York- based designers, Snarkitecture, The Beach Chicago is an immersive art installation, which consists of a large, open room filled with more than a million antimicrobial and recyclable plastic balls, along with deck chairs, lifeguard chairs, umbrellas and signage that mimic the sensation of a day at the beach.

Fittingly, The Beach Chicago also includes a pier hovering over the ‘sea’ of balls from which onlookers can watch and revel in the installation below.

Escape the bitter cold Chicago weather this winter with a day at The Beach Chicago, on display in Navy Pier’s historic Aon Grand Ballroom from January 19 through February 3, 2019.
