Cicero officials turn on Christmas Lights at Christmas in the Park event

Town President Larry Dominick and the Town of Cicero Board of Trustees and the Cicero Special Events Department hosted the Annual Christmas in the Park Celebration at Cicero Community Park on Saturday where children and families enjoyed the Christmas and holiday lights, Santa Claus and gifts of hats, gloves and a toy for each child.

The event is also the Grand Opening of the Ice Rink, which also co-hosted the event, and represents when Town officials turn on the Christmas Tree lights and holiday lights at the park and throughout the community.

The switch for the Christmas Tree lights and the lights decorating the park were flipped on by Cicero Assessor Emilio Cundari and Trustee Victor Garcia.

“We are grateful to all the residents, families, seniors and children who attended the Christmas in the Park event,” Cundari said afterwards. “I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.”

Also wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Garcia added, “It was moving to see all the children, the families and the seniors who attended enjoy the event as a community with Town officials and department heads and employees. We have so many events like this that strengthen our community and bring us all together.”
