The best place to watch the 4th of July fireworks in Chicago is definitely up for debate—some will say Winnemac Park's completely unsanctioned, but nonetheless epic amateur fireworks display is the way to go (see below), while others head to Pilsen.

But we have seen few documentations of the Navy Pier fireworks as stunning as this rooftop video, shared on YouTube and Reddit this 4th of July holiday.

Our staff opted to spend the 4th elsewhere—Pilsen, and Winnemac Park, as we mentioned,
but also a rooftop in Logan Square and at home, comforting our dogs. Aaron Cynic brought us this alternate view of the local fireworks shows from his spot in Winnemac:
