The pandemic has forced the cancellation of beloved traditions across the country in 2020. In Chicago, the country’s third-largest parade — the marquee element of the city’s annual BMO Harris Magnificent Mile Lights Festival — was called off this year. Although the parade won’t be making its way down North Michigan Ave., Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile will still shine bright all winter long with illuminated trees — and a special virtual experience will take the place of in-person festivities.
