2 MIN READ – Chicago, like all great American cities, is home to a wide variety of peoples and cultures. We’ve rounded up a few of the events, specials, and offers right here in the Loop that honor a variety of winter-time celebrations.
Millennium Park Holiday Sing-Alongs
The Millennium Park Holiday Sing-Along series (previously “Caroling at Cloud Gate”) is a free event series that will invite Chicagoans and visitors to sing out and celebrate Chicago’s diverse holiday traditions on Fridays at 6 p.m., from November 25-December 16. This series has been reimagined to be more inclusive of Chicago’s many faith backgrounds, cultures, and holiday music traditions. Holiday Sing-Along nights will feature the Windy City Gay Chorus and Treble Quire, as well as the BYNC Music Project. See the full lineup here.
Chicago Loop Synagogue
The Chicago Loop Synagogue has services daily throughout Chanukah, December 18-December 26. Chicago Loop Synagogue was founded in 1929 to serve the religious needs of those whose business activities brought them downtown. Since then, a growing residential community has made it the home synagogue for those who live downtown as well. Learn more here.
