2023 Magnificent Mile Lights Festival

ABC7 Chicago anchors Cheryl Burton and Ryan Chiaverini served as co-hosts of the broadcast along with ABC7's Judy Hsu and Hosea Sanders, who brought sparkle and excitement reporting street-side. Dazzling audiences with a star-studded lineup, the country's largest evening holiday celebration opened with Broadway in Chicago's Tony Award-winning, "Hamilton," celebrating its return to Chicago and "Boop! The Musical," a new Broadway-bound extravaganza, along with Latin jazz family legend and musician Tito Puente Jr. - all lighting up Chicago with performances atop the iconic Wrigley Building. Parade attendees and viewers alike will be singing along with Grammy-nominated Sister Sledge when the sisters belt out their popular and timeless hit, "We are Family." The pioneers of hip hop, The Sugarhill Gang, will have everyone dancing in the streets with their famous hit, "Rapper's Delight." Keeping the groove going with the holiday spirit are The Funky Bunch, Chicago native and "The Voice" finalist Katie Kadan and "American Idol" finalist Colin Stough. #wintrustlightsfest
