Kankakee, IL – A new twist on holiday cheer arrives this December as “Reflections of Kankakee County: Stories That Shaped Us” invites residents to celebrate the season through architecture, history, and lights. The guided bus tour takes place Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m., beginning and ending at the Kankakee County Museum, 801 S. 8th Avenue.
According to Visit Kankakee County, the $25 event blends history with the holiday spirit, featuring stops at several of the area’s most iconic sites — including Frank Lloyd Wright’s B. Harley Bradley House, the Riverview Historic District, and the George R. Letourneau Home. Each location will be decked in festive lights and period décor.
Guests will also visit the museum’s 47th Annual Gallery of Trees, enjoy hot cocoa, and sample holiday cookies among the twinkling displays. Organizers say the event aims to illuminate the region’s architectural and cultural heritage while creating a cozy community celebration.
Advance registration is required by December 9, and space is limited.
