Symphony in Lights, Holiday Fest at Promenade This Saturday

The Promenade Bolingbrook provided this news release on the start of its holiday Symphony in Lights Show, which is held daily, and Saturday's Holiday Fest:

The Promenade Bolingbrook, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital and the Village of Bolingbrook join together to provide the community at large a spectacular day of holiday family fun. 

Activities begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2013, and continue throughout the afternoon ending with the lighting of The Promenade Bolingbrook’s massive Holiday Tree and the first Symphony in Lights show of the 2013 Holiday Season.*

Famed as the largest commercial holiday light show of its kind in Chicagoland – “Symphony in Lights” features more than 250,000 highly efficient LED lights embedded in thousands of feet of holiday foliage and choreographed to the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
