Red Bull High Rise provided the perfect kick-off to Venetian Night and added a new twist to a 52 year old festival. Along both the lakefront and in Grant Park’s Butler Field, people lined up to see the action. The crowd roared with each attempt and on his third attempt he managed to secure his place in Guinness World Records…while also beating the rain by seconds.
