Long Grove Holiday Kick Off: Tree Lighting

The holiday season gets started in grand fashion in Long Grove with the ceremonial tree lighting Nov. 10, 4 p.m., in the Village’s Town Square.

There are few times of the year that conjure up more sweet memories and nostalgia for days past than the winter holidays. The Village of Long Grove is more than just a town, it is a closely-knit community.

Whether you’re from the area or from across the globe, Long Grove is a great place to call home this holiday season. Its vintage, rustic atmosphere provides a welcome alternative from the busy commercial hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

Also this weekend, Nov. 10-11, visit with Santa Claus at The Pear Tree Shoppe!
