My number 6 spot goes to the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Parade 2011. This is something that happens every year in Chicago. It always happens the Saturday before Thanksgiving. So this year it’s happening on November 19, 2011 and it opens at 11am till 7pm but the parade starts at 5:30pm. This event is free. If you plan on driving to this event you would have to leave early because the streets are closed off an hour before the parade starts. When I go, my friends and I take public transportation so that we won’t have to worry about the traffic. This is a fun event that the whole family can enjoy together. The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival officially kicks off the Christmas season in Chicago. With many activities and the highlight is the Mickey Mouse parade illuminating over one million lights along Michigan Avenue. This event is so beautiful to me. I love going every year. When you walk down Michigan Avenue, most of the stores you’re going to past will have their holiday displays up already. The activities they have are performances, ice sculpting demonstrations, and live entertainment all throughout the parade. Mickey Mouse leads the parade; he heads south from Oak Street and goes to Michigan Avenue. This parade is for all ages. You can enjoy the company of your friends and family all day. Right after the parade they have a big firework show at Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River. This is a fun event and I hope that if you and your family ever go, you have as much fun as I do.
