Description:
|
Along Michigan Avenue, from Oak Street to the Chicago River, all the trees are strung with twinkling lights and turned on just in time to signal the start of the holiday season.
Prior to the procession, retailers along the Mile elaborately decorate their shop windows, which are then rated by a panel of judges from several local arts institutions and businesses, and numerous entertainers regale visitors with live music, dance, comedy, and acrobatics at Pioneer Court (401 N Michigan Avenue) and along the procession route. The lighting procession begins at 5:30pm, and is followed by a fireworks display. Be prepared for crowds – it’s common for more than a million people to participate. |
