Kankakee, IL – Teens across Kankakee County are invited to show off their most outrageous holiday fashion at an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party happening Monday, December 22, 2025, at the Kankakee Public Library.
According to the City of Kankakee, the event will run from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. inside the Roland B. Johnson Teen Zone at the Kankakee Public Library and is open to students in grades 7 through 12.
The holiday-themed gathering is designed as a fun, low-pressure way for local teens to celebrate the season with their peers. Attendees are encouraged to wear their ugliest, funniest, or most creative Christmas sweaters while enjoying snacks, activities, and music.
City officials say the event will be offered in both English and Spanish, welcoming a wide range of families across Kankakee and the surrounding area. Promotional materials list the event as “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party / Fiesta del Suéter Navideño Feo.”
The library is located in Kankakee County, about 60 miles south of Chicago, and regularly hosts youth-focused programs during school breaks and holidays.
