For more than 40 years, the trees along North Michigan Avenue have been illuminated to signal the official start of the holiday season in Chicago. Witness the magical lighting of more than one million lights along North Michigan Avenue from Oak Street to Wacker Drive, culminating in a magnificent fireworks show over the Chicago River. After you enjoy the day’s activities, return to The Magnificent Mile to create more holiday memories!
Stay for Saturday’s main event - the lighting of North Michigan Avenue. Enjoy the procession as Mickey Mouse and his friends lead the way down The Magnificent Mile.
