Venetian Night in Chicago tonight. Ever been? Any tips?

Tonight is Venetian Night in Chicago, and we’ll be going to see the fireworks. We’ve never thought about going to the “pretty lights on boats” part of it because we just assumed they’d be impossible to see (which is the same reason we always skip the “Water” part of the “Air and Water Show.”)

If we did want to try and see some of these cool lit-up boats, does anyone have any suggestions as to where we should be. The pictures I’ve seen of the boats do look spectacular, and I would like to see them.

Any tips, ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
