Holiday experience with the Community Arts Council of Kankakee County
The Village of Bourbonnais, in partnership with the Community Arts Council of Kankakee County, is pleased to announce the return of Miracle at The Grove Sunday, December 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Experience the spirit of the season and last-minute holiday shopping outdoors at The Grove at Goselin Park 700 Main St. NW.
Make your shopping list and check it twice while visiting local artisans and vendors at the Miracle Market featuring unique, handcrafted treasures. Ice skate the day away underneath the Robert Goselin pavilion while listening to live Christmas carols from community performers. Satisfy your seasonal appetite with festive offerings from food truck lane while enjoying indoor dining or warm up around six firepits and outdoor heaters. Discover if you’ve been naughty or nice this year with free photo opportunities with Santa, his elf, Mrs. Claus and pet a real reindeer. End the afternoon with an enchanting ride in Santa’s sleigh while sipping warm beverages and viewing the 30-foot tall village Christmas tree.
For those who prefer winter indoors, we’ve got you ‘covered’, too! The Community Room in the Bourbonnais Municipal Center will serve as a warming center throughout the event as well as indoor dining and includes free activities such as facepainting and coloring.
