Year-end concerts also top the list of the most loved New Year’s Eve activities. This attracts people who would rather jam to their favorite artists, while partying with some loud music in the background, rather than having to socialize at a formal party. Concerts can feature a mainstream artist, could be a musical or a comedy show with some tunes too! Who doesn’t want to welcome the New Year with a great laugh, right?
4. Dinners
Dinners are one of the top New Year’s activities in Chicago. Be it a corporate, formal, casual dinner, or just booking a fine-dining restaurant with a special someone, this activity tops the most liked activity on this festive day. Usually, plans for the New Year, resolutions, sports, politics, reunions, and future travels are talked about over dinner - cheers!

Cruising on the water romantically watching the views and flowing with the power of the water, is a unique way of welcoming the New Year with your loved ones. Fortunately, in Chicago, some locals prefer booking a cruise along Lake Michigan with the viewing of fireworks as an encore.
6. Fireworks
Chicago is very fortunate to have Navy Pier as it’s main location to garner great views of fireworks on New Year’s Eve. During the day, various family activities are held, as well as live shows to entertain the crowd before the countdown begins. There are also food stations and bars within the area to satisfy your thirst. The firework display is accompanied with inspiring music to set the mood for the New Year too!
7. Karaoke
Another way to make your countdown more fun is by singing all your worries away with karaoke. There is no better way for locals to bond with their family on New Year’s Eve than belting their hearts out to their favorite karaoke song playing in the background. You can either book a private room or even join a live karaoke event just like the previous Shoe's Pub Karaoke NYE Party last year. This event includes a champagne toast, appetizers, and non-stop singing!
