West Chicago Park District Receives Grant to Help Light Up the Holidays

The West Chicago Park District is excited to share that we are a recipient of the The ComEd and Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Powering the Holidays program grant! The grant will help support a special community celebration at the ARC Center: a holiday tree made by the people of West Chicago.

And we want you to be part of it!

Join us for Light Up the Holidays, a FREE community tree lighting event on Tuesday, December 8, at 5:00 PM. Enjoy the tree lighting, hot cocoa, and ornament decorating as we come together to light up the season!

Here's what makes this tree special: it will be decorated with personalized ornaments and messages from the people who make West Chicago unique. Residents, families, schools, local organizations, and community partners are invited to decorate an ornament sharing what makes our community special, the traditions they celebrate, or why they're proud to live in West Chicago.

All decorating supplies will be provided, and everyone is welcome to take part!

This is a chance to bring neighbors together, celebrate the many people and traditions that make West Chicago special, and create something we can all enjoy. Every ornament adds a little piece of someone's story, making this a holiday tree that truly represents our community.

We hope you'll join us, add your own ornament, and help light up the holidays in West Chicago!
