Greektown Chicago is illuminated with blue and white lights along Halsted Street this November as it kicks off the holiday season with Greek-themed festivities and events—including its annual Greektown tree lighting event with Santa, Shopper’s Reward Program, and traditional Greek holiday karavákia display of small illuminated boats in businesses throughout the neighborhood. The Greektown Shopper’s Reward Program offers a $50 rebate for visitors who shop and dine in the neighborhood through December 31, 2024. Shoppers can receive a $50 Visa gift card after mailing in original receipts from at least three different eligible Greektown businesses, with a grand total of $250 or more. A list of participating Greektown businesses and additional details on the rebate are available at greektownchicago.org. The annual Greektown tree lighting ceremony will be the weekend before Thanksgiving, on Sunday, November 24 from 5-6 p.m. at Elysian Field (southeast corner of Halsted & Van Buren Streets) including an appearance from Santa, complimentary treats and hot chocolate.
