Do-Division Holiday Event

Santas, Elves and Horse-Drawn Carriages to Help Holiday Shoppers
Find Great Deals at Do-Division Holiday, December 3 – 4

Chicago’s biggest holiday shopping fair is taking over West Division once again December 3rd through 4th. The annual Do-Division Holiday is when the popular destination street comes alive with seasonal cheer, with horse-drawn carriage rides, trolleys and Santas and Elves helping weary shoppers find their way to the next deal! At the center of the event are the incredible holiday specials on everything from designer duds to hand-crafted suds at dozens of participating shops and restaurants along the Do-Division strip!

A family-friendly occasion, Do-Division Holiday is a fun way for Chicagoans to holiday shop while getting acquainted with a distinctive corridor of the city filled with unique and independent shops and restaurants that are matchless in charm. More than any other time of the year, the warmth of the holidays are alive along the boulevard for Do-Division Holiday. This year’s event features: free horse-drawn carriage rides both days from noon to 5 pm; Santas and Elves roaming the strip handing out coupons and gift certificates along with warm season’s greetings (again from noon to 5 pm both days); free trolley rides moving shoppers from/to nearby Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Sale and Wicker Park’s shopping fest; complimentary wine and holiday bites [at select spots]; and of course, shopping deals galore!
