Downtown Elgin becomes a holiday wonderland
The 19th annual Winter Wonderland spread holiday cheer around downtown Elgin on Saturday with family-friendly holiday entertainment, carriage rides, reindeer, pictures with Santa and the official lighting of the tree.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association's winter market and food trucks kept hungry people satisfied.
Ornament decorating, holiday tattoos and crafts were all part of the day's activities, along with an open fire, a living nativity, face painting and caroling.
Dual fire pits encourage visitors to make s'mores at Elgin's Winter Wonderland event in the DuPage Court in downtown Elgin Saturday.
