There's lots to do as 2023 comes to a close, from fireworks displays to theater shows.

There’s plenty to do, with the Daley Plaza Christkindlmarket just through this weekend — and not everything here is for the holiday-involved among us.

In the mid to late 1800s when Swedish immigrants, such as the Chellberg family, arrived in Northwest Indiana, they brought along with them many special Christmas traditions. On Saturday, Chellberg Farm was packed with people of all ages, touring the home and learning about Swedish traditions, words, music and foods.

It’s all holidays, all the time around Chicago this weekend, including the opening of the annual holiday concert by the CSO.

There are a couple of Christmas traditions some Fox Valley residents don’t mess with - spending time with Santa Claus and taking a ride on the holiday train at Blackberry Farm in Aurora.

Events in the holiday spirit continue this weekend, though with “Krampus,” you have to give that spirit a wide latitude.

Originally known in 1947 as the Lindblom Alumni A Cappella Choir and then the Chicago Choral Club the group that eventually Musichorale in 1957 will perform its last holiday concert this weekend in Oak Lawn.

After 50 years, thousands of performances, a few spaghetti dinner fundraisers and too many songs to count, the choir at St. Michael Church in Orland Park is still singing and inspiring.
