Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park invites guests to ring in the New Year in style at Chicago’s biggest New Year’s Eve celebration with two specials offering access to the city’s NYE Chi-Town Rising Celebration.
Set just steps from the hotel, the Chi-Town Rising festival celebrates the New Year with an exciting line-up of celebrity and musical guests, an epic countdown with a gigantic Chicago star rising into the night sky and a dazzling fireworks display at midnight.
The event offers visitors multiple options to be part of the action, including the TV Audience Zone on Broadcast Boulevard; the Corona Extra Beach House for a party experience; and the official Chi-Town Rising at Navy Pier for both adult and family-friendly groups.
Headlining musical acts this year include performances from alt-rock artists American Authors and legendary rock band Chicago. The Chi-Town Rising Countdown stage goes live at 8 p.m. with multiple artists taking the stage in the run-up to the television broadcast on NBC 5.
Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park offers two deals featuring tickets to the Chi-Town Rising party as well as additional perks. Starting from $379 per night, the Chi-Town Rising special offers overnight accommodations for two nights in a Fairmont guestroom and daily breakfast for two, while the VIP Chi-Town Rising special includes two nights in a Fairmont guestroom and two VIP Audience Zone Chi-Town Rising tickets valued at $150.

By the time you reach Sooke, about 45 minutes from the provincial capital, city blocks have surrendered to forests, rocky shoreline, sheltered coves and long views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Prestige Oceanfront Resort rises directly above Sooke Harbour, where boats move across the basin, and the Olympic Mountains form the horizon beyond the strait.
