Chicago's Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Set for November 21: Parade Steps Off at 5:30 p.m., Fireworks over the River at 7:15 p.m.
The Wintrust Magnificent Mile Lights Festival takes place November 21 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. The Magnificent Mile Association has published the day's schedule: a festival lane of booths during the day, the tree-lighting parade at dusk, and fireworks over the Chicago River to close the night, all free and open to the public.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Lights Festival Lane fills Pioneer Court at 401 N. Michigan Avenue with booths and holiday activities. At 5:30 p.m., the tree-lighting parade steps off at Oak Street and Michigan Avenue and proceeds south along Michigan Avenue.
At 7:15 p.m., the Wintrust Fireworks Spectacular lights up the sky over the Chicago River at Michigan Avenue, with the DuSable Bridge area and Wacker Drive among the organizer's recommended viewing spots.
Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive close to vehicles as early as 3 p.m., and the DuSable Bridge closes to pedestrians at 3 p.m., so the organizer advises spectators to cross the river early to secure a spot. It also recommends taking Metra commuter rail: the Saturday Day Pass is $7, and up to three children ages 11 and under ride free with each fare-paying adult.
