Description
What a great night standing by the beautiful Buckingham Fountain with a view of the Chicago skyline in the background. This colorful fountain changes colors and sits in the center of Grant Park in downtown Chicago, Illinois, United States. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan with four sea horses symbolizing the four states (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana) that border the lake. It was designed by beaux arts architect Edward H Bennett. It operates April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows.
