Rock Father Local: Cool Family Events & More in the Chicago Loop #LoopHolidays

This article is more than 11 years old and may not have been updated since our last site redesign. It may contain outdated information, broken links, or could be missing images and/or attribution.

When it’s Christmas here in Illinois, some time spent in the Chicago Loop is an absolute must. I’ve written in the past about our family tradition of visiting Santa at Macy’s on State Street (in fact, this year’s visit is tomorrow), and then there’s the always-festive Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza, which we’ve already visited once this season. No matter what you’re into, there’s something for the whole family, and the Chicago Loop Alliance has put together a definitive guide to all the Holiday Deals & Events this season. Better yet, they’ve even curated some daily itineraries of events, along with the full rundown on all that’s family-friendly, and in some cases – free.

Select Holiday deals available at LoopChicago.com/Holidays Include:

  • 20% off M-F performances Porgy and Bess at Lyric Opera of Chicago
  • Discounted $7 admission at Gene Siskel Film Center
  • 10% off tickets to The Joffrey Ballet’s Nutcracker
