Ready to countdown to the holidays? The Magnificent Mile lights parade is the official kick off to the holidays in Chicago. The parade will take place from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. It steps off from Oak Street and Michigan Avenue and heads south on Michigan to Wacker Drive. The parade will be followed by a Fireworks Spectacular over the Chicago River as part of the grand finale. The fireworks offer a perfect ending to the fun-filled day of holiday activities and events! You can download an events guide PDF here.
After you’ve enjoyed the sights and sounds, come down UNDER Michigan Avenue for the tastes and smells of a delicious Cheezborger, chips and a Coke.
