Chicago, USA. 31 December 2015. A giant star, the centrepiece of the inaugural "Chi-Town Rising" event hangs on the side of the Hyatt Regency hotel next to the Chicago River. The star will be raised to the top at midnight, along with a massive fireworks display and projected light show. The celebration aims to showcase Chicago as a destination for New Year’s Eve and to encourage winter travelers to visit the city. Credit: Stephen Chung / Alamy Live News
