The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival and parade lit up downtown Chicago for its 25th year on Saturday night.

The event was brimming with Christmas decorations and costumed acrobats, who paraded through the Magnificent Mile shopping district and ended with a fireworks display, one day after the city lit up Millennium Park for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Our Photographer Tyler LaRiviere captured photos of the festivities, above, including the fireworks and hundreds of spectators who turned out to celebrate.
