Actually there will be three chances to attend a lighting, complete with hot chocolate, caroling, a visit from Santa — and live reindeer available for pictures with the kids.
Sponsored by the South Loop Chamber of Commerce and Ald. Patrick D. Thompson (11th), the holiday events are scheduled 6 p.m. at three 11th Ward locations.
Here’s a look at when and where you can catch a lighting:
