Pier Pumpkin Lights: Experience Chicago’s free pumpkin pop-up experience at Navy Pier, October 1 – October 31, 2021 10:00AM-11:30PM
Explore a variety of pumpkin pop-up installations throughout the Pier and enjoy fabulous fall deals at Pier Pumpkin Lights, a month-long seasonal celebration with jack o’lantern towers to light displays. Please note: This pop-up installation will be on exhibit daily during normal Pier operating hours, but will be best experienced after dusk. COTC note: Personally I would not recommend wandering around Navy Pier at 11:30PM!
