About this Article
Ah, the gentle sounds of Christmas in Naperville. Bells pealing softly through a veil of falling snow. Rosy-cheeked carolers gathering outside your front door. Eighty tubas thumping their way through "O, Come All Ye Faithful." Wait just a minute. Tubas? At Christmas? In the heart of downtown Naperville? What in the name of John Philip Sousa is going on here?Galleries by Category
