On December 17, 2023, the Green Healey Mckinley Chicago (GHMC) neighborhood group hosted an evening of luminaries and caroling. The group used the City’s small grant program to cover the costs of luminary bags, sand, and candles. Several neighbors filled the bags with sand and candles while others placed them along the sidewalks throughout the neighborhood and lit the candles. Neighbors then gathered in a backyard to enjoy treats and listen to carols performed by the Baroque Artists of Champaign-Urbana.
