Singing, dancing and more as Arlington Heights lights tree

Arlington Heights' annual holiday tree-lighting was certainly the highlight of Friday night's ceremony at North School Park - but it was only part of the fun.

The event began with baton twirlers and with dance performances from the Arlington Heights Park District's Vibe dance companies, followed by the Dickens Carolers from John Hersey High School.
