The Great Bake Walk

Something sweet is coming to Lincoln Square, Chicago — and trust us, you don’t want to miss it.

Get ready for The Great Bake Walk, a brand-new community event where deliciousness meets discovery. Wander through the neighborhood on a sweet tour, sampling mouthwatering creations from some of Chicago’s most talented local bakers. From cookies to pastries, breads to brownies, every stop is a chance to treat your tastebuds and shop small businesses that make our community so special.

The response has been incredible! The all-ages Sweet Walk route is officially SOLD OUT — thank you for the love! That leaves just a limited number of tickets available for the 21+ Boozy Sweet Walk Route, which includes extra-special bites and a little grown-up indulgence along the way.
