SUMMARY:GLOW Holiday Joliet
DESCRIPTION:The magic of the holiday season is set to shine brighter than ever as the GLOW Holiday Festival (virtual tour) makes its debut at Slammers Stadium in downtown Joliet\, Illinois.\nThis enchanting experience promises to transform the beloved baseball venue into a winter wonderland\, delighting visitors of all ages with a spectacular display of lights and festive activities. \n“We envisioned bringing something unique\, family-friendly\, and above all\, fun to downtown Joliet and Slammers fans\,” said Night Train Veeck\, owner and executive vice president of sales and marketing for the Joliet Slammers. “Partnering with the City of Joliet and GLOW was the perfect way to turn this vision into a magical holiday reality.” \nGLOW will be open on select evenings from Wednesday\, Nov. 27 through Sunday\, Jan. 5. The must-see holiday festival\, which originated in St. Paul\, Minnesota at the Slammers’s sister stadium CHS Field\, will extend its tradition of giving back.

Since opening in Minnesota in 2020\, GLOW has donated over $350\,000 to nonprofit organizations. \nThe outdoor\, walk-through festival features millions of twinkling lights\, whimsical sculptures\, and illuminated vignettes. Highlights include: \n● GLOW Spectacular – A dazzling light and music show set to holiday tunes\, happening every 20 minutes.
