Light up the Tree-mendous Holiday Season in Downtown Highland Park

Highland Park,
IL – It’s “snow” secret- it’s that time of year again! Welcome the holiday
season to Downtown Highland Park on Saturday, November 23 during the City’s
Annual Holiday Lighting Event from 3:00 pm until 5:30 pm. Enjoy the sounds of
holiday cheer from the Highland Park High School Marching Band, while taking
part in one of many festivities during the tree-mendous lighting event.



 



Make memories
merry and bright by challenging the little ones to a scavenger hunt, suitable for
the whole family. After the winter fun and prizes have been awarded, stay for
the breathtaking view as over 275 trees in the Downtown Highland Park are lit
for the 2013 holiday season.  But don’t
pack up the sleigh just yet, because Santa Claus is coming to town! Children of
all ages will delight at the sight of the man in the red suit during this very
special holiday event. Jolly Old Saint Nick will be available for pictures with
children, and will give warm winter wishes for all.
