 Chicago
Scenic has designed, built, and managed the Halloween and
holiday décor programs at Chicago's Navy Pier since
1996. Chicago Scenic has been charged with the development
and master planning of the seasonal décor programs
for this historic and popular venue with the mission to ensure
that visitors will always have something new to see and do
each holiday season at the state's number one tourist destination.
 Chicago
Scenic has helped the Pier become Chicago's most popular Halloween
destination for families through yearly makeovers that keep
the attraction fresh and interesting. Each year, working closely
with Navy Pier's event and entertainment staff, the haunted
house's design and special effects are updated, along with
the Pier's general décor elements, to keep all of it
appropriately scary for the targeted family audience.
Pier-wide
Halloween décor has included a 30-foot mechanized inflatable
bat, a giant sea monster atop the front of the Pier to greet
arriving guests, a pirate stage and shipwreck, and hundreds
of pirate skeletons and ghosts that haunt the entire Pier.
 Once
Halloween is over, Chicago Scenic quickly moves on to the
winter holidays. Visitors are greeted with entranceways covered
with garland swags trimmed with oversized stockings waiting
for Santa. An enormous kinetic cookie factory busily creating
holiday treats hangs high above the Family Pavilion stage,
Santa's home for the holidays. The arcade, food court, and
retail areas are decorated with lighted chambeaus, swags,
and wreaths, and visitors are entertained by the antics of
penguins Clyde and Montague, Navy Pier's holiday mascots that
are whimsically displayed in animated window boxes of Chicago's
most recognizable landmarks.
