Lights on Lincoln & Santa Comes to Town
Celebrate the start of the holiday season in Downtown DeKalb with Lights on Lincoln and Santa Comes to Town! Enjoy holiday lights that line the streets and wave to Santa as he rides through Downtown DeKalb. Santa’s route will start at 6PM. Enjoy a Christmas tree lighting with hot chocolate and caroling in Van Buer Plaza once Santa stops at the Egyptian Theatre. Santa will be available for visits in his house in Van Buer Plaza after the Christmas tree lighting.
The DeKalb Public Transit System will be running a free, special bus route to take families to see Lights on Lincoln. The bus will service approximately 50 bus stops throughout DeKalb with the bus arriving at Van Buer Plaza. All stops along the route will be marked with fliers to indicate where passengers can board the bus. The route is being added this year to ensure that all families can participate in this annual holiday event. Go to www.cityofdekalb.com/1438/lights-on-lincoln for bus times and more information.
