Glencoe Set For 'Light Up The Lights' Sesquicentennial Finale

From the Village of Glencoe:

GLENCOE, IL — After a year packed with special events and activities to commemorate the Village of Glencoe’s 150th anniversary, the Sesquicentennial celebration will officially conclude at Light the Lights on Friday, November 29. The Sesquicentennial Planning Committee and the Glencoe Chamber of Commerce invite the community to join us from 4-7 p.m. in downtown Glencoe to say farewell to the Sesquicentennial year while also welcoming the start of the holiday season with an evening of fun for the entire family!

Made possible through the generous support of BMO Harris Bank Glencoe and @properties, and in partnership with over 30 of Glencoe’s local businesses, the evening will include the Village’s annual tree lighting ceremony (starting at 5:15 p.m. at the corner of Park and Vernon avenues), shopping specials, a Wine and Beer Stroll, a visit from Santa and his reindeer, carolers, a brass band trackless train rides and more!

New this year, Wine and Beer Stroll participants can skip the line by pre-ordering cups before Friday, November 22. Pre-ordered cups can be picked up in advance of the event from Monday, November 25-Wednesday, November 27 from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. or anytime during Light the Lights at Village Hall. Cups may also be purchased during the event at Village Hall or BMO Harris Bank. Thanks to Hometown Coffee & Juice, the first 300 Juice and Soda only participants will receive a commemorative LED light-bulb cup to match the theme of the evening.

Also from 4-7 p.m., strollers can get their holiday shopping started with special discounts and deals from multiple downtown businesses, many of which will extend into Small Business Saturday on November 30.
