In fact this will be one of the biggest fireworks displays the city has even seen. Almost a whole mile of the river is rigged with fireworks that will light up the sky tonight in downtown Chicago.

The fireworks show will be completely choreographed and synchronized to a music playlist that will be broadcasted throughout the city off 5 different launch points. If you can't make it tonight the whole fireworks display will be shown on NBC 5 so you won't miss a moment of the action.
