Abstract
Black and white footage capturing crowds of Chicago Bears fans celebrating the team's historic win in the city's downtown area (the Loop). The last thirty seconds of footage features an unspecified ballet performance in color, at the Grant Park Bandshell (now commonly referred to as the Petrillo Music Shell).
Description
 
Black and white footage features crowds at West Adams Street and 190 South La Salle celebrating, tying streamers to lampposts and traffic lights, and people playing with the copious amounts of confetti strewn everywhere. The offices of Delta Airlines can be seen in the background.

Eventually, the crowd thins out, leaving the streets blanketed with confetti. The film then switches to color, depicting an outdoor ballet performance that was shot some time in the 1960s, at the Grant Park Bandshell (now commonly referred to as the Petrillo Music Shell).
