St. Charles Event

Lighting of the Lights (St. Charles Holiday Homecoming)

Holiday Homecoming opens as downtown St. Charles switches on its holiday lights. St. Charles North and East high school choirs sing carols, early arrivals can pick up a holiday bell while supplies last, and Santa greets families and poses for photos after the ceremony until 7 p.m. Dog-friendly. Rain or shine.
