Why You’ll Love It

Get ready for a magical day on November 23, 2024! Starting at 5:30 pm, Michigan Avenue—better known as the Magnificent Mile, will dazzle with one million lights twinkling on 200 trees. The annual pre-Thanksgiving parade brings the holiday cheer, and this year, some very special Disney friends, including a certain famous mouse, will be there to spread the magic. It’s an evening full of sparkle, celebration, and plenty of festive fun!

In addition to the parade, there’s plenty to enjoy at Lights Festival Lane from 11 AM to 4 PM! Stroll through the festive booths, take part in free family activities, and snap complimentary photos with Santa at the Wintrust Pavilion. Plus, there's some fun balloon twisting—because who doesn’t love that?
