Northerly Island, a 91-acre man-made island on Lake Michigan, lies parallel to Soldier Field and is linked with the Museum Campus in Chicago. Originally an airport, the island has been transformed into a sprawling park, nature reserve, and entertainment area. Visitors can explore its natural landscapes and enjoy regular concerts and events at the Huntington Bank Pavilion. The island’s reimagined purpose offers a unique blend of outdoor recreation and cultural experiences, making it a distinctive part of Chicago’s lakeside attractions.
