    To kick off the holiday season, Loyola University Chicago, Rogers Park Business Alliance, Edgewater Chamber of Commerce, and Alderman Joe Moore of the 49th Ward present Polar Palooza, an annual two-day outdoor winter festival for Chicago¿s north side neighborhoods.

    Attendees will enjoy food from local restaurants, live music, synthetic skating, meeting Santa, gift shopping with local artisans, ice sculpting, family friendly activities and a visit from a live reindeer (Sunday only).

    Admission for the event is $5 person and/or $10 per family and will provide access to all activities including new ones this year which feature a beer garden, holiday movies at The New 400, and a Merry-Go-Round.

    Festival goers who attend the Loyola Ramblers men¿s basketball game against San Diego State on Saturday, December 3 will receive $2 Polar Cash to spend at the festival. Men¿s basketball tickets are available here.

    In anticipation of the event, Loyola and the Rogers Park Business Alliance will illuminate the CTA Loyola Red Line station and North Sheridan Road with thousands of lights. Light installation is underway and uses funds from the Sheridan Road Special Service Area and a voluntary contribution from Loyola to decorate dozens of trees along a half-mile stretch.
