Joliet Slammers Holiday GLOW event 2025-2025
GLOW Holiday Festival to Light Up Joliet–an All-New Illuminated
Experience Coming to Slammer Stadium this Holiday Season
Joliet, Ill.
The magic of the holiday season is set to shine brighter than ever as the
GLOW Holiday Festival (virtual tour) makes its debut at Slammer Stadium in downtown Joliet, Illinois.
This enchanting experience promises to transform the beloved baseball venue into a winter wonderland,
delighting visitors of all ages with a spectacular display of lights and festive activities.
“We envisioned bringing something unique, family-friendly, and above all, fun to downtown Joliet and
Slammers fans,” said Night Train Veeck, owner and executive vice president of sales and marketing for
the Joliet Slammers. “Partnering with the City of Joliet and GLOW was the perfect way to turn this vision
into a magical holiday reality.”
GLOW will be open on select evenings from Wednesday, Nov. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 5. The
must-see holiday festival, which originated in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Slammers’s sister stadium CHS
Field, will extend its tradition of giving back. One dollar from every festival ticket purchased locally will
benefit charities in the Joliet and Chicagoland area. Since opening in Minnesota in 2020, GLOW has
donated over $350,000 to nonprofit organizations.
The outdoor, walk-through festival features millions of twinkling lights, whimsical sculptures, and
illuminated vignettes. Highlights include:
● GLOW Spectacular– A dazzling light and music show set to holiday tunes, happening every 20
minutes. Watch as the entire stadium lights up in a synchronized dance of color and sound.
● Fairytale Castle– Rising majestically against the night sky, the castle's soaring turrets and
graceful spires reach towards the stars, each adorned with thousands of twinkling lights that
shimmer like captured constellations.
● Enchanted Forest– Wander through a dreamlike world filled with glowing trees, whimsical
playhuts, and larger-than-life illuminated mushrooms in this enchanting escape.
● Smores&More–Enjoy s’mores over fire pits while you relax and take in the holiday ambiance
in this cozy gathering space.
● PenguinPlayground– The ultimate winter playground for children and teens, featuring light-up
seesaws, swings and climbing structures.
● Santa’s Shack– Capture the magic with a visit with Santa himself, where children can share
their holiday wishes and snap a photo in a charming winter setting.
● Color Blossoms– A glowing field of ever-changing illuminated blooms throughout the stadium..
● Step onto the Field– Put yourself at the center of GLOW! Visitors can enjoy an exclusive
experience by stepping onto the baseball field as they explore the GLOW Maze and traverse
Candy Cane Lane, a dazzling array of photo-worthy lighted tunnels.
