Navy Pier Auditorium, Entertainment venue at Navy Pier, Chicago, United States.
Navy Pier Auditorium is an event venue on Navy Pier in Chicago with multiple large halls for different purposes. Festival Hall and the Aon Grand Ballroom offer flexible spaces for concerts, trade shows, and private celebrations.
The building was designed and opened in 1916 as part of Chicago's maritime infrastructure. A major renovation later modernized the venue while preserving its role as an important cultural center.
The space has hosted generations of musicians and performers who played before Chicago audiences. These stages reflect the city's identity as a center for live entertainment and gathering.
The venue is easy to reach via Navy Pier and offers different rooms depending on the type of event. Visitors should plan ahead to find the right hall for their activity.
A distinctive dome rises above the ballroom and is visible from outside, giving this space a memorable silhouette. This architectural feature makes the venue recognizable from the waterfront walkway.
