Weekends in December    4 - 9 pm
Start a new family holiday tradition at Chicagoland's largest light festival featuring over one million twinkling lights, animated light displays, and a laser light show. And then there are also cute animals…indoors and outdoors. Stroll through the decorated holiday corporate trees; Whole Foods Markets Hinsdale, Willowbrook, and River Forest are sponsoring a tree again this year. Many events are planned so visit the website www.czs.org

Join the beer and wine department from the downtown Lamar store for a real sabering event at 4 PM on Saturday, November 24. Taste free champagne and come have seasonal fun with us.

Join the Lamar bakery team for a gingerbread house decorating class on the Mezzanine level of the store on December 10 or 11.

As part of our commitment to the area community, Whole Foods Market will donate 5 percent of the day’s net sales to Omaha Community Playhouse, the largest community theatre in the United States, showcasing a full season of comedies, dramas and musicals, presented on two stages.
