We'll have carolers filling the crisp air with joyous songs, and yes, there will absolutely be plenty of hot cocoa and delicious treats to keep everyone warm and in good spirits. It's a tradition that truly brings everyone together, year after year.

But the fun certainly doesn't stop there! Grayslake is planning a delightful array of events throughout the season. Keep an eye out for Santa's much-anticipated visits, giving all the little ones a chance to share their holiday wishes directly with the big man himself.
