The Chicago Park District lists a 90-minute, $10 holiday activity at Rutherford Sayre Park for an audience labeled Youth. Its description promises treats and family activities, but gives no craft project or refreshments menu.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The event title suggests a particular holiday combination, but the listing describes the gathering more broadly: treats and activities for families, without naming a performer or laying out a detailed itinerary. That distinction matters if you are choosing between a participatory activity and a scheduled show.
Rutherford Sayre Park is in Chicago’s Montclare community, near the Elmwood Park boundary. The Park District says the present park combines three adjoining properties that were set aside as parkland just before World War I.
The name recalls the families who donated the land after farming and subdividing the surrounding area. The western portion included William E. Sayre’s homestead, purchased in the early 1830s; Thomas A. Rutherford, the area’s first postmaster, donated the eastern section. The Park District combined the three park properties into the present park in 1999.

The event is also categorized as Night Out in the Parks, the Park District’s citywide cultural series. That series includes formats such as theater, music, dance, movies, nature programs and community festivals, but the category alone does not announce a performance at Rutherford Sayre. This event’s own description centers on a family activity.
