Title: "The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival" Book Publication: Chicago 7 Local ABC News Author: Staff Writer Date: 11/19/2008 Once called Pine Street Chicago's North Michigan Avenue has a rich history, spanning 140 years. It is now considered of the great avenues of the world. One of the street's most famous events is the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival, www.themagnificentmile.com and this year the festival is honored with its very own book. The new book by author Ellen Farrar of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association (GNMAA) includes dozens of photos. She asks, did you know: · The term "The Magnificent Mile" was coined by Arthur Rubloff, founder of one of the largest real estate companies in the 1940s · Built in 1929, the Palmolive Building enhanced The Magnificent Mile's growing reputation as an architectural showplace. Lighting features such as the Lindbergh Beacon and annual holiday illumination of its façade added to its glamour, and in August, 1930, President Herbert Hoover pressed a telegraph button in the White House to light the Lindbergh Beacon. · Actress Carmen Miranda was the first celebrity to ceremonially "throw a switch" to illuminate lights on The Magnificent Mile then, a 67-foot-tall holiday tree in Water Tower Park in November of 1951. North Michigan Avenue, known as The Magnificent Mile, has a long and rich tradition of celebrating the holiday season in grand style. Today the illumination of this world-famous avenue with more than one million white lights is considered by many the official start of the holiday season. The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival draws some one million visitors each November. Millions more watch the televised broadcast. The development of North Michigan Avenue, known in its humble early days as Pine Street, and the creation of its holiday and tree-lighting traditions are largely attributed to a dedicated group of entrepreneurs and business leaders, known as the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association. Over the years, this line of visionary Chicagoans recognized the avenue's potential and committed to making North Michigan Avenue a world-class street with world-class holiday traditions. The North Michigan Avenue district now features 56 hotels, 275 restaurants, 460 retail locations, and numerous educational, cultural, and health care institutions and more than 18 million visitors annually. "We are so excited to release "The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival" during the annual Lights Festival," says author Farrar, vice president of marketing for the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association.
