Buckingham Fountain, located in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, is one of the largest fountains in the world. Dedicated in 1927, it was a gift from Kate Sturges Buckingham in memory of her brother, Clarence Buckingham. The fountain operates from April to October and features a stunning water display, with water jets shooting up to 150 feet in the air. At night, the fountain is illuminated with colorful lights, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
