Macy’s State Street, Chicago

 

I had wanted to see Christmas Decorations at Macy’s for a long time..And this year I made it.

My two priorities were to see: The Great Tree Lighting [in Walnut Room] and Holiday Window Decorations.

This year marks the 46th Annual Holiday Window Decoration and 106th Annual Great Tree Lighting.

This post has some of the highlights from my trip to Macy’s at State Street.

11 N. State Street, Chicago 60602.

HOLIDAY WINDOW DECORATION
This year marks the 46th Annual Window Decoration. Marshall Fields started the Holiday Window Decorations, and Macy’s has continued with the tradition. The 2013 theme is “The Magic of Christmas”, emphasizing the iconic Marshall Field’s tradition of the past and Macy’s commitment to continue these traditions.

THE GREAT CLOCKS

Holiday Decorations around the Great Clocks..
The Great Clocks weigh over seven tons each. These massive and elegant timepieces have kept Chicago on time for more than a century. The Great Clocks, known as the “Sentinels of State Street” with their ornamental ironwork and timeless beauty still remain a popular meeting place for Chicagoans and visitors alike, becoming icons of Chicago and “making State Street, that Great Street!”
