The Great Tree: a Chicago holiday tradition for over a century
Macy’s on State Street kicks off the holiday season with
the return of its iconic holiday traditions. Beginning on November 6
Macy’s 114th Annual Great Tree
For 114 years, the Great Tree has been the centerpiece of the Chicago holiday season. This year’s Great Tree theme features a journey of discovery and triumph as a very special reindeer takes to the
sky to help Santa Claus bring joy to millions of children, all made possible when she finally believed.
Located inside the historic Walnut Room at Macy’s on State Street, the Great Tree stands 45-feet-tall and hangs from the ceiling versus sitting on its base.
Since the tree hangs from the ceiling, the very firstpiece to be installed is the star that sits on top. Section by section, the team steadily lifts, constructs
and decorates the tree from the top down until completed. Generations of families have grown up withthis holiday tradition, making a point to visit the illustrious tree.
Holiday Dining in the Walnut Room
The beloved holiday dining experience returns to the Walnut Room on a reservation-only basis throughOpen Table. The Walnut Room will feature its holiday menu, including Mrs. Hering’s beloved chickenpot pie, cider glazed turkey as well as Frango® ice cream pie and more.
