About us

Navy Pier is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation established in 2011 to maintain Chicago's historic Navy Pier and oversee the redevelopment of one of the most important civic landmarks in the United States and the top-visited leisure destination in the Midwest. Looking ahead to Navy Pier’s 100th anniversary in 2016, Navy Pier created The Centennial Vision, a framework for reimagining Navy Pier. Grounded in the noble principles of its founding designers, The Centennial Vision adds a visionary and contemporary lens for the future. Navy Pier's mission to be a world-class public place that celebrates and showcases the vitality of Chicago and provides for the enjoyment of Chicago-area residents and visitors year-round. NPI manages Navy Pier within a business framework that provides for its long-term financial stability. While looking forward to what is relevant for Chicagoans today, Navy Pier leadership is ever conscious of famed architect Daniel Burnham’s vision to transform the lakefront into attractive and useful public space for active recreation and social interaction – a source of pride and common ground that fosters a sense of community within the city’s diverse population. Navy Pier's objectives for the future remain consistent with Burnham’s enduring values for the ‘People’s Pier’ to be a place where local residents and visitors from around the world come to experience the natural beauty of the lakefront and Chicago’s magnificent skyline.

  • As part of our ongoing Global Connection series, this past Saturday, we celebrated another unforgettable Holi at the Pier! The day was filled with vibrant festivities, uplifting performances, and soul-stirring music, bringing everyone together in the spirit of unity and joy. The Aon Grand Ballroom glowed with energy and light, while the Beer Garden buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the spirit of spring. From the colorful powders to the lively music, every moment was a beautiful reminder of love, joy, and the power of shared traditions. It was the perfect way to welcome the warmth and vibrant energy of spring to the city! We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mayor Brandon Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, Comptroller Susana A. Mendoza, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Consul General of India Somnath Ghosh, ComEd, Sue Ling Gin Foundation Trust, the Delhi Committee of Chicago Sister Cities International, the Pratima and Niranjan Shah Family, Smita Shah and SPAAN Tech for their invaluable support. Your contributions and partnership are truly appreciated. #NavyPier #Chicago #Holi2025 #Community #Spring
