For the 6th year, Lake Bluff, the “North Pole of the North Shore”, will kick off its holiday season with a full day of festive activities sponsored by the Lake Bluff Downtown Merchants, the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce, and the Village of Lake Bluff.
Entitled “It’s a Wonderful Life … in Lake Bluff”, the day-long celebration in the holiday spirit will start at 10am when the downtown comes alive with the sights, sounds and tastes of the season along with in-store promotions, exhibits drawings and gift ideas for all ages.
Santa and his live reindeer, horse and carriage rides, seasonal music and old fashioned fun will bring a Norman Rockwell holiday scene to life throughout the bustling downtown.
The culmination of the day’s events will be the ceremonial lighting of the town’s gazebo on the Village Green sponsored by Kinnucan Company with a traditional community sing-along led by the Lake Bluff Middle School Chorus.
