Thanksgiving in Chicago: Parade, Christkindlmarket, and Festive Sights
Welcome to 'Time IN Chicago' on this crisp Thursday, November 28, 2024. As the city awakens, the air is filled with the excitement of the holiday season, and today is no exception. The weather is chilly but perfect for a festive day out, with clear skies and a hint of winter in the air.
Today, Chicago is buzzing with several key events that cater to a wide range of interests. The main attraction is the 90th anniversary of the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade, taking place from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. CT on State Street, from Ida B. Wells Drive to Randolph Street. This free family tradition features marching bands, festive floats, staged celebrity performances, and a diverse array of cultural performance troupes. You can catch it live on State Street or watch it from the comfort of your home on Pluto TV[1][2][5].
For those looking for something to do later in the day, the Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza is a must-visit. This traditional German-style market offers artisan gifts, holiday decorations, festive foods, and hot beverages, along with live music and performances. It's a great place to get into the holiday spirit[2][3].
If you're planning for the evening, consider heading over to the Magnificent Mile, which, although the main lights festival was on November 23, still offers a beautifully illuminated stretch of Michigan Avenue, setting the tone for the holiday season.
In local news, there are no major public events scheduled for Mayor Brandon Johnson or other city officials today, but keep an eye out for updates on the city's budget and infrastructure projects[4].
For must-do activities today, aside from the parade and Christkindlmarket, take a stroll along the Lakefront Trail to enjoy the city's scenic views and the beginning of winter landscapes. If you're looking for a hidden gem, visit the Lincoln Park Conservatory, a beautiful greenhouse that's free to visit and offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Here's a local tip: To navigate like a true Chicagoan, use the 'L' train (elevated train) to get around the city quickly. Also, don't forget to try a classic Chicago-style hot dog at one of the many local eateries.
As we wrap up today's 'Time IN Chicago,' we're excited for what tomorrow brings. Stay tuned for more on the Lightscape event at the Chicago Botanic Garden and the ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo, both of which kick off this weekend. Until then, enjoy the festive vibes and all that Chicago has to offer
