The Guild of the Chicago History Museum invites you and your families and friends to ring in the holiday season at the Museum! Enjoy an evening of good cheer and wintery drinks and nibbles with one of Chicago’s favorite caroling groups, the Great Lakes Dredge and Philharmonic Society. These festive fellows in tall top hats and long scarves known as “The Dredge” will delight you with their music and holiday spirits. A well-kept Chicago secret, The Dredge performs only during December and comprises multigenerational volunteer singers. Bring the whole family to sing along to classic carols!
