Santa's Send Off Dinner

SAY FAREWELL TO SANTA WITH A MAGICAL EVENING!

Say farewell to Santa as we give him a grand send-off back to the North Pole just in time for Christmas Eve! Join us Saturday, December 23rd for a magical evening at the Lakefront Lodge at Harry Caray's Tavern on Navy Pier. The whole family will enjoy holiday-inspired dinner specials while getting their photo taken with Santa. With live music and entertainment from 6:30pm to 9pm, Chicago local and musician Steve Lydell will have you and your children singing and dancing to holiday classics.

After dinner, join Santa as he makes his way through the tunnel of lights from Navy Pier's Light Up the Lake Festival and along the Pier’s south dock for his grand departure aboard the festively decorated Shoreline II operated by Shoreline Sightseeing. Then wave goodbye as he takes off beneath the majestic and nationally-award winning Navy Pier Fireworks Show to embark on a 4,622 nautical mile journey back home to the North Pole in time for Christmas Eve!
