Holiday In The Park And Parade Set To Return To Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — As it does every year, the Glenview Chamber of Commerce and local businesses want to say thank you to the community, and will do so with the Holiday in the Park and Parade. This year's festive event is set to take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30.

"It is so rewarding to be associated with a great chamber that gives back to the community," said Jerry Doetsch, parade committee chairman, who has led the parade for the past 20 years. "Seeing all of the children's faces light up when they see Santa coming to town makes it all worth it."

The parade begins at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 1775 Grove St., and then continues west down Glenview Road. The holiday event culminates in Jackman Park, where Santa and his helpers will greet children with a gift.

Attendees can enjoy free hot cocoa and tasty treats while supplies last, free kiddie train rides, hayride and photo op in the interactive snow globe.

"The holiday parade captures the spirit of the season with its joyful blend of local business floats, vehicles and marchers, families lining the streets and the community coming together to celebrate the start of the holiday season," said Meghan Kearney, executive director of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce.
