In partnership with both the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the Midwest Rail Rangers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, provides on-board educational programs on the South Shore Line through Illinois and Indiana.
This weekend kicks off the holiday season along the South Shore Line! Experience the magic of the season at some of the most anticipated events like the spectacular Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Parade (Nov. 23), the annual Chicago Tree Lighting Ceremony in Millennium Park (Nov. 22) and the traditional German Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza (open as of Nov. 15).
The BMO Harris Bank Magnificent Mile Lights Festival returns for 2019 on Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23, and is a FREE 2-day Family-friendly holiday event extravaganza!
We like to think this wintery weather arrived just in time for the Christkindlmarket kickoff! On Thursday, November 14 from 5 – 9 pm there will be a PREVIEW event for the Christkindlmarket. Get your tickets for 'Twas the Night Before Christkindlmarket and let the South Shore Line take you there!
Chicago is not the only place getting into the holiday spirit. Beginning Thursday, November, 14th, the Museum of Science & Industry will feature their Christmas Around the World and Holiday of Light exhibit. Explore how the rest of the world celebrates Christmas. This will be on display until January 5, 2020.
