Skokie 2017 Downtown Holiday Fest Brings Santa, Elves, Reindeer

SKOKIE, IL — Come downtown to spread holiday cheer for a good cause, as Skokie's annual Holiday Fest offers a chance to have fun with the whole family while supporting those in need.

Look for live reindeer, photos with Santa and elves scheduled to appear Friday from 6-8 p.m. outside the Skokie Heritage Museum. Plus, there will be crafts and caroling and other holiday activities.

Bring clothes in good condition – like winter coats, hats and gloves – or non-perishable food items for donation to the Niles Township Food Pantry.
