Travel with External Programming: Night of the Luminaria and Living Windows in Historic Galena on Saturday, December 9, 2017
Don’t miss one of the most beautiful and romantic visions of the year. Stroll down the Helluva Half Mile Main Street and watch more than a dozen windows come alive with holiday-inspired animation. From Main Street to the hills overlooking Grant Park, all of Galena will be glowing. Enter a land of enchantment on this magical night with more than 5,000 candlelit luminaries on streets, steps and sidewalks. Drive, walk, take a trolley or enjoy a carriage ride and be amazed at the sight. Local businesses offer extended hours, so take advantage and do some holiday shopping on the Helluva Half Mile; then warm up with a candlelit dinner at one of the restaurants. The bus ride there and back will be festive and get all participants in the holiday mood.
