Little Friends is delighted to be part of this annual event, designed to ring in the holidays in downtown Naperville. Hometown Holidays is held each year, with festivities including the Grand Illumination of lights, Santa's arrival, an electric parade, reindeer and much more!
Held as part of the Hometown Holidays celebration in downtown Naperville, the Friends of Little Friends parade features a spectacular collaboration of lights, festive floats and Santa's arrival in preparation for the busy holiday season. Following the parade, Santa Clause will flip the switch and light more than 300,000 holiday lights transforming downtown Naperville into a winter wonderland.
