Libertyville is gearing up to kick-off the holiday season, starting with the tree lighting on Nov. 29 and followed by MainStreet Libertyville's "Dickens of a Holiday" festivities in December.
The village's tree lighting will start with a sing-along of traditional Christmas carols at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 29 in Cook Park, followed by Santa's arrival at 7 p.m. The tree lighting will follow.
MainStreet Libertyville's "Dickens of a Holiday" festivities will be held Dec. 7 and 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in Cook Park to visit with children and take photos from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.
Petranek's Pharmacy, 426 N. Milwaukee Ave., will host the Children's Holiday Shoppe, where children can purchase gifts that are each priced at $5 or less.
"Dickens of a Holiday" will also feature the Victorian Tea from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 7 and 14.
"The authentic English tea, which includes delicious pastries, tea sandwiches and scones with Devonshire cream, is served by hostesses in period dresses," according to MainStreet Libertyville officials.
