Well, 2016 is finally coming to a close. And to be honest\u2026we\u2019re ready for this year to end. But that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not excited for December in Chicago! We know you’re tempted to hide from the cold in your apartment, but there’s just so many things to do in Chicago in December. The holiday season means Chicago is buzzing with wintery events, great (though sometimes stressful) shopping, and wonderful shows and concerts. Whether you\u2019re lacing up your skates at Millennium Park or tucking away with a hot cocktail at a cozy bar, there are tons of reasons to make the most of December in Chicago.<\/p>\n

This year, Chicago gets its own free New Year’s Eve celebration and the city isn’t skimping. To ring in the inaugural event, they’ve tapped Chicago (the band) and American Authors to headline sets leading up to 2016. As the final approach of midnight nears, a star will ascend the west tower of the Hyatt Regency\u00a0until it reaches the top. The whole event will be broadcast live on\u00a0NBC 5 and Telemundo Chicago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
