The Lighting of the Lights Ceremony, sponsored by Solutions Networking, will kick-off the two-day St. Charles Holiday Homecoming Event on Friday, November 28th at 5pm.
Join the community in welcoming the holiday season as we collectively flip the switch to illuminate the city with dazzling lights. You'll hear the sounds of joyful holiday carols from the St. Charles North and East High School Choirs, and can enjoy complimentary samples of freshly roasted assorted nuts, sponsored by Theriault Booth LLC. Attorneys at Law. Be sure to get there early, as attendees can get a holiday bell (while supplies last), that you'll use to help bring out the night's special guest!
This will also be the first chance to see Santa's BRAND NEW cottage, thanks to Trotter and Associates Inc. You won't want to miss the unveiling, as Santa will see his beautiful new home for the holiday season, with the opportunity to greet and take photos with him following the ceremony until 7pm.
