The Lighting of the Lights Ceremony, sponsored by Solutions Networking, will kick-off the two-day St. Charles Holiday Homecoming Event on Friday, November 29th at 5pm. Join the community in welcoming the holiday season as we collectively flip the switch to illuminate the city with dazzling lights. You'll hear the sounds of joyful holiday carols from the St. Charles North and East High School Chorales, and can enjoy complimentary samples of freshly roasted assorted nuts, sponsored by Theriault Booth LLC. Attorneys at Law. Be sure to get there early, as attendees can get a holiday bell (while supplies last), that you'll use to help bring out the night's special guest! The special guest will be there to greet and take photos with everyone following the ceremony until 7pm!
