Mistletoe Madness Kicks Off Holidays In The Heights

Mistle Mistletoe Madness is coming to the Heights. 

Sponsored and organized by the same folks who bring White Linen Night to the Heights each summer, Mistletoe Madness is the holiday version of the street festival that annually revs up the holiday season in the historic Heights.

"Set for Saturday, December 5, from 12-6 p.m., Mistletoe Madness faithfully showcases the Heights - profiling the people, the shop owners, the artists and the businesses that make the Heights a classy, progressive, and ultimate destination not to be missed," the event website proclaims.

Art, shopping, eating and live entertainment will highlight the days festivities which will also include a caroling contest!  Revelers will sample the wares and fares of artists, merchants and restaurants from throughout the Heights while soaking in the holiday decorations and festive atmosphere.

Organizers describe the event as "just the right mix of 'Eat, Drink, Shop & Be Merry.'"  And promise that  "Heights Mistletoe Madness 2009 is geared up to make this year's event the best yet."

Hope to see you there!

Where exactly does this take place? I've heard about it, but somehow missed it all last year. I don't really understand where it happens or what exactly does happen.

Fred,

Thanks for the info. That explains how I missed it...I live more toward the Heights/Yale area and don't get into the Studewood/N. Main area enough. I will check it out. Thanks so much for the help!

    • PLONK!
      A Beer and Wine Bistro North of I-10. Scott Miller's incarnation brings classy quality to Oak Forest.
    • Block7
      On Shepherd just South of Washington. An enophile's dream come true. Art. Food. Wine and Passion.
    • The Pearl Bar
      A real bar right down to the glowing red neon sign. What could be better? Great service in a friendly clean atmosphere! That's what!
    • Cantina 1308
      Another El Tiempo. This one is the best of the three. A casual neighborhood atmosphere and great fajitas. Plus the legendary 'Rita's.
    • The Boom Boom Room
      One of the few bars in the Heights, this place is clean and friendly and close to home. After just one stop, I believe it's worth another look.
