The show features Video Projections, Lasers, Pyrotechnics, Live singing, Live dancing, and Fireworks. IgNight journeys from the Great Chicago Fire to the present during the show.

Several types of new and old music are used throughout the show. About 13 songs are used in the show, Chicago by Frank Sinatra Hit the lights by Selena Gomez Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae Elevate by Big Time Rush All of the lights (very brief) by Kayne West Light up the sky by Duncan Turn up the music by Chris Brown You don't know your beautifully One Direction Fire burning by Sean kingston Without you by David Guetta Put your hearts up by Ariana Grande We are young by Fun.

The show

The show begins with a girl reading her great grandma Elizabeth's journal again. In the journal, her grandma meets a boy and they are having a great time until The Chicago Fire ruins their fun. Then they go to present time and the girl is told to not think about the past and go into the city and have some fun at Club IgNight. Then, a DJ comes out and starts a dance party. In the middle of the show, the same thing that happened to her Grandma Elizabeth happens to her, without a disaster. To end the show My song knows what you did in the dark by Fall Out Boy plays while many rounds of Pyrotechnics launch and go along with the music.
