Woah! I thought my pipes burst today with the deluge of water 💦⛈ that today's storms brought.
All good! But, don't be suprised if you catch me showing off tomorrow and Thursday in the early hours.
My engineer friends are testing my pipes & turning me ON- just briefly- to make sure I'm ready for my BIG SHOW at Switch on Summer at Buckingham Fountain 2024.
Are you coming?
Mild weather means more Buckingham Fountain ⛲! Historically, the onset of colder temperatures in early October prompted the end of the Fountain's season in mid-October. This year's, mild weather has permitted the extension of the season & the spook-tacular water, light & music display through Halloween, Tuesday, October 31. The 96 yr. old architectural gem's backdrop is unlike any other with downtown Chicago's colorful skyline to the west and the glistening Lake Michigan to the east. The 820 "soft moonlight 🌙" yellow, blue, purple and red lights appear to dance on the Fountain's reflection pool. As the lights change hues, a burst of water shoots 150 ft. into the air, catapulted by one of the Fountain's 133 powerful jets. Everyone is welcome! Free to enter. We'd love to see your photos. Tag us @chicagoparks for a chance to see your 📸 shared in our stories. ...
Hey, Tom Skilling... you gotta show me how you magically make the sun ☀️ come out on cue. I was soooooo impressed.
Thanks for coming out on Saturday!
#todayistheday! Closing up shop for the season at 11 pm.
Hasta la vista... I'll be back... May 2023 (Is Terminator still popular?)
