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!

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.
