Altar Bells from Wheaton's Gary UMC to ring at Cantigny Park
On Wednesday, Dec. 20, you have the chance to hear handbells and handchimes from the Gary United Methodist Church Altar Bells group at Cantigny Park.
In conjunction with Cantigny's Christmas Light Show In the Park, guests will walk the light show trail, which ends at the Visitor Center in the Le Jardin banquet room.
Guests will be seated in a café style environment and be treated to the sounds of five octaves of handbells and seven octaves of handchimes as they warm up with a hot drink and a holiday treat.
Music selections will include both holiday favorites and traditional carols, as well as a medley of Hanukkah songs. The music will begin at 6:30 p.m.
