See the Winter Wonderland on Water Street in Naperville
Naperville Sunrise Rotary, in partnership with the Water Street Downtown Naperville, Marquette and Ryan Hill Group, is putting on its eighth annual Naper Lights event downtown, along Water Street and the riverwalk. See the holiday lights every day from 4 to 9 p.m. through New Year's.
Santa and Naper Lights volunteers will be joined by musical student performers from Bach 2 Rock from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 18-19. Enjoy instrumental music and holiday carols while viewing the lights and visiting with Santa.
The event is being sponsored to bring holiday cheer and festivities to our community during the holiday season.
On Friday and Saturdays from 6 to 8 p.m. you can take your own socially distant photos with Santa. He'll be wearing a mask and hopes you will too and keep your distance while waiting your turn in line. There is no charge. Volunteers will offer holographic viewing glasses free while they last. Donations to Rotary causes welcome!
Water Street has been converted into a winter wonderland with a combination of holiday displays and music. There is no charge for visitors to Naper Lights through donations are welcome.
Volunteers with Naperville Sunrise Rotary are out on weekends accepting donations or go to the website naperlights.com to help light the light display going in future years.
This event is made possible through the generous support of local-area businesses and individuals as a way to not only give back to the community, but promote their businesses to a wide-ranging audience.
