Dickens in Dundee turns downtown East and West Dundee into a Victorian Christmas the first weekend of December, with tree lightings in both villages, a Festival of Trees, Santa's East Side Market at the Depot, and Living Windows.
The Riverside Parade of Lights ties it all together, starting in West Dundee, crossing the Main Street bridge into Carpentersville, and ending in East Dundee.
