Residents from Downers Grove attended the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 24 at Main Street Station. Friends, family, and neighbors kicked off the holiday season with a visit from Santa and friends, along with music from the District 99 marching band and Downers Grove Choral Society.

Thanks to those who participated, hundreds of homemade ornaments adorned the tree with twinkling lights.
