Inclement weather didn’t seem to bother those who attended Saturday evening’s 20th Annual Joyful Traditions. The popular family friendly holiday event is held along the Illinois Prairie Path at the Rugaard Gazebo and is hosted by the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Villa Park. Members of the Willowbrook High School Show Choir are pictured performing in the festival’s tasting tent that featured food from local restaurants. The event also included a tree lighting by Santa, trolley car rides to the Villa Park Historical Museum, a chance to build-your-own S’mores by a campfire and more.
