Holiday cheer in the Chicago Southland!

The Chicago Southland is full of holiday fun and cheer this December so be sure to bundle up and enjoy all the Chicago Southland has to offer! Catch a holiday tree lighting; find some holiday meal deals; head out to the WeishFest; take a look at La Voute's holiday specials; celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and check out our new Festivals & Events Guide.

Christmas tree lightings and events

’Tis the Season for twinkling lights and heartwarming holiday festivities. Make the season bright by attending a tree lighting ceremony or lights festival in one of the Chicago Southland communities. You can check out our holiday lights blog for information on all of the tree lightings, light festivals and more in the area.

Warm up with holiday meal deals

Be it a lack of time, resources, or know-how, sometimes preparing a home-cooked meal for the holidays isn’t always a viable option. However, just because you aren’t up to cooking a holiday meal doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get to enjoy one. For such cases, many local restaurants around Chicago Southland proudly offer special, holiday menus or carry-out options to spread a little holiday cheer.

WeishFest 2022

On Friday, December 2nd, head over to 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park for WeishFest 2022. WeishFest was established in memory of Andrew Weishar, a young man who fought cancer and requested that when he was gone, the goodwill bestowed upon him and his family be shared with others. WeishFest features fantastic live performances by Quinn XCII, The Fray and more, all while raising money for those battling cancer.

Gather to celebrate the holidays

La Voute Restaurant at La Banque Hotel is featuring some great holiday specials and offers you can take advantage of this holiday season.

Throughout the month of December, you can dine in a Parisian inspired winter wonderland and enjoy a rotating menu of holiday-inspired specials, twinkling lights, holiday decor and maybe even an appearance from the big guy himself. There’s no better place to dine during the festive season than at La Voute.

Additionally, you can celebrate the festive spirit with some true holiday cheers in Homewood with La Voute's special Holiday Soiree offer. Party it up with a full restaurant buyout at La Voute, dine privately in their flexible event spaces, and indulge in a classic holiday menu with all the trimmings!
