St. Lucia (December 13) Festival for Swedish-Americans (event 2011) 4:45 p.m. Central Time

Event at outskirts of Chicago (Cook County), Illinois

The festival of St. Lucia is a Sicilian tradition adopted by the Swedes, a celebration of lights prevailing over the darkest time of the year. Join us at the Swedish American Museum, 5211 N. Clark, for the annual candlelit, carol-filled procession down Clark Street beginning at 4:45 p.m. and ending at 7 p.m.. Afterwards, the Museum hosts more singing, family entertainment, and treats. The procession is free; admission to the museum is $1 or a canned food item to benefit Care for Real, Edgewater’s food pantry. There will also be a special St. Lucia service down the street at Ebenezer Lutheran Church starting at 7:00 p.m.
