Though holiday festivities this year will be different than in year’s past because of the pandemic, one thing is certain: the 107th “official” Christmas tree in Chicago’s history will look stunning thanks to Cook County’s unionized electrical industry. Located in Millennium Park near the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Washington Street, the tree is a 45-foot Blue Spruce donated by the family of Catherine Townsend of Chicago’s Morgan Park neighborhood.

Powering Chicago contractor All Tech Energy was selected to light this year’s tree, which they accomplished with skilled electricians from IBEW Local 134. Founded in 1994 and based in Schaumburg, All Tech specializes in providing electrical and lighting solutions for institutions, commercial and industrial businesses throughout metro Chicago. Since its founding, the WBE/DBE-certified company has delivered on-time, on-budget and high-quality results at manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, retail establishments, municipal facilities, museums, casinos and hundreds of schools throughout Chicagoland, among countless other examples.
