About this Event

Join Chicago Veterans for an unforgettable evening aboard the Anita Dee II as we bring together over 100 women Veterans for a night of connection, celebration, and sisterhood on Lake Michigan.

Take in breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline, feel the summer breeze, and watch the Navy Pier fireworks light up the night as we celebrate the women who have served. Whether you are looking to reconnect with old friends or build new friendships, this evening is about creating community with others who understand the journey.

United in Service. Connected by Purpose. Committed to Community.

Onboard the cruise, you'll experience:

✨ Navy Pier Fireworks & Skyline Views: Enjoy one of the best views in Chicago as fireworks illuminate the city skyline over Lake Michigan.

🎶 DJ Entertainment: Dance, celebrate, and enjoy music throughout the evening with fellow women Veterans.

🛥️ Three Floors of Fun: Explore three levels aboard the Anita Dee II, including two indoor, climate-controlled floors and outdoor viewing areas.

🍹 Fully Stocked Bars: Purchase your favorite drinks while enjoying an evening on the water.

💃 Dance Floor & Social Experience: Let loose, laugh, dance, and create memories with an incredible community of women who served.

From combat boots to dancing shoes — this night is about honoring our service, celebrating our stories, and strengthening the sisterhood that continues long after the uniform comes off.

Service. Strength. Sisterhood. Chicago Proud.
