The Great Bake Walk - Next Week!

The countdown is on for The Great Bake Walk! In just over a week, ticket holders will set out across Lincoln Square and Ravenswood for a morning of bakery hopping, neighborhood exploring, and plenty of delicious bites along the way.

Participants will enjoy treats from local bakeries, cafes, and small businesses during this self-guided community stroll. It’s a perfect excuse to discover new spots, revisit old favorites, and spend a fun morning supporting local.

Tickets are going quickly, one of the event routes is already sold out, and last year’s Bake Walk sold out entirely before the event. If you’ve been meaning to grab yours, now’s the time!
