The Christmas Preview is a tradition in Downtown Chicobringing people together in the heart of the community to officially commence the holiday season. Downtown merchants extend a warm welcome, showcasing the best of hometown hospitality by unveiling their holiday offerings, displaying delightful decorations, and offering entertainment. The DCBA organizes festive elements such as strolling carolers and various on-street events.

This year, an exciting addition to the festivities is the opportunity to witness Santa getting a haircut at Liberty Barber (@libertybarbercompany) at 4:00 PM, just before he heads over to capture memorable photos with our beautiful families.
