magnificent mile lights festival 2010

Today sees Chicago taking part in their Magnificent Mile Festival of Lights which raises the curtain on the holiday season with a day and night of festivities. ABC reports that it is going to attract about 800,000 spectators so this is going to be a very busy event taking place in downtown Chicago.

For people unable to attend the festivities in person, ABC 7 will air the evening Festival of Lights live and repeat the program at later dates. The Magnificent Mile 2010 Lights Festival, presented by Harris, starts at 11:00 a.m., with entertainment. Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be on hand to lead the parade and join in on the illumination of Lights in the Festival. Disney characters Phineas and Ferb will be joining Mickey and Minnie Mouse for the parade. Over one million lights will be illuminated on the Magnificent Mile for the holiday season.

So plenty to look forward to for young and old and would be a great way to get yourself into the festive spirit by checking it out.
