'Holiday on Pulaski' Entices Shoppers To Alsip Shops

ALSIP, IL -- It’s going to be a miracle on Pulaski when Alsip businesses deck their halls for an evening of fun this Friday, Dec. 7. The Village of Alsip’s sixth annual “Holiday on Pulaski” gets underway from 5:30 to 9 p.m.. A full slate of holiday themed activities, food, giveaways, visits with Santa, Rudolph and the Abominable Snowman, Christmas tree lighting and more are planned.

Pulaski Road between 115th and 121st streets will be turned in a veritable winter wonderland, where stores and shops will be offering coupons, refreshments and giveaways. Businesses are encouraged to decorate their windows for the holidays. A free shuttle bus will be available to ferry shoppers to stores and other activities featuring entertainment and refreshments. Goodie bags are available to the first 400 families.

There is Yuletide merriment for all ages, including a holiday train, fire safety house with mini fire engines, carriage rides, ice carvings, a human snow globe, tree lighting, carolers and store promotions. Santa will be putting in an appearance at Alsip Town Hall, along with Those Funny Little People and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and his buddy the Abominable Snowman (don’t worry, Hermy the Elf removed his teeth).

The Prairie Junior High School Band and Choir and the Dwight D. Eisenhower High School Dance Team will perform, along with crafts and games for children. Craft vendors will also be selling unique gifts and wares in heated tents.

Participating businesses include Nancy’s Pizza, What’s Poppin’, El Coyote, Paragon Hair Studio, Jake’s Music Studio K, Cool Rite, Rib Brothers, Smoke City Vapes, Fine Print and Custom Designs, McDonald’s, Checkers, Navarro’s Bakery, Alsip Public Library and Burger King.
