In the holiday mood? Our guides have you covered – Chicago Tribune

Good afternoon, Chicago.

A blizzard of holiday events around Chicago commences this week, with the Christmas tree lighting in Millennium Park and Christkindlmarket opening Friday, holiday parades on the way and caroling at the Bean kicking off soon.

Metra will even add a “Holiday Train” for the first time since 2008 this year, with Santa and Mrs. Claus riding the line on three Saturdays this December.

Want to see a festive show? Get picks from Chris Jones, the Tribune’s chief theater critic, and see a full list of holiday concerts and shows for 2022.

Or simply step back to simpler times by revisiting our beloved Chicago-area markets that no longer exist in this week’s Vintage Chicago Tribune newsletter.
