Friday, November 24th, the holiday season in Chicago officially started at 5pm, when the switch is flipped and the lights begin to sparkle and shine in Daley Plaza.
Chicago's massive 85 foot tall holiday tree is decorated with more than 4,000 twinkling red, gold, white and green lights and 130 glowing ornaments.
The tradition of an official City tree was initiated back in 1913 when it was first lit by Mayor Carter H. Harrison in Grant Park.
