The Museum halls are decked, holiday singers and dancers fuel the festivities, and the sparkle of dozens of decorated trees greets you at this year’s Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light.
The Museum’s 45-foot Grand Tree takes center stage in the Rotunda, while more than 50 trees beautifully decorated by members of Chicago’s ethnic communities to represent global cultures adorn the Museum's Main Level. Stroll through the trees, enjoy intermittent falling “snow” and savor the performances of various dance and choral groups on the Holiday Stage.
More special holiday events, performances and, of course, new memories, await you at this year’s Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light!
