In what will be his most dramatic performance in Chicago, Vince Vaughn will parachute with the U.S. Army Golden Knights this Saturday at North Avenue Beach to kick off the Chicago Air and Water Show.
The Golden Knights will be performing Saturday and Sunday at the 52nd annual Chicago Air and Water show, the largest free show of its kind in the United States.. It has featured a Golden Knights team for 51 years. At 11am on Saturday Vince Vaughn will tandem jump with the Golden Knights. Bill Murray made the jump in 2008 (see video below). Like Murray, Vaughn will be securely strapped to his designated parachutist the whole trip.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights will headline the 52nd Annual Chicago Air and Water Show along the lakefront from Fullerton to Oak Street, with North Avenue Beach as the focal point. Although most of the water portion takes place near North Avenue, the air show can be seen as far north as Foster if you want to avoid the huge crowds. New for this year; the water and air portions have been combined for one continuous show beginning at 11 am and ending at 4 pm both days.
