Do-Division Holiday Event

Unwrap Wicker Park Bucktown Campaign to

Kickoff Weekend of December 1-2


Unwrap WPB: Holiday Guide to Feature Best Products

& Deals in the Hood Dec 1 through 24!


Wicker Park & Bucktown Chamber of Commerce and West Town Chamber of Commerce invite you to experience Chicago’s most remarkable shopping and entertainment destination neighborhoods this holiday season.  The hallmark of the Wicker Park & Bucktown district is the predominance of independently-owned, unique businesses, restaurants and shops guaranteed to provide you with the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. 

Chicago’s biggest neighborhood holiday extravaganza will take over Wicker Park & Bucktown when the Unwrap WPB campaign launches the weekend of December 1 – 2. Building on the success of last year’s Unwrap WPB Passport Program, the Unwrap WPB: Holiday Guide captures the area’s adventurous and creative businesses, ranging from eclectic to chic, gritty to slick.  The printed ‘Holiday Guide’ is the ultimate holiday resource, boasting featured products, shopping tips, arts listings, exclusive deals and more at dozens of participating stores, restaurants and service providers in Wicker Park & Bucktown throughout the entire duration of the Unwrap WPB campaign, December 1 – 24.  

On Unwrap WPB kickoff weekend, free trolleys will transport holiday walkers to various drop-off points throughout the environs and to Renegade Holiday Craft Fair in Pulaski Park – creating the city’s largest interconnected holiday shopping and dining experience.  Seasonal cheer will be alive around every corner, with potential Santa sightings, hot cocoa, holiday music and more setting the mood. 

New to the bigger and better Unwrap WPB: Holiday Guide this year is “Shop for Schools,” a charitable component where a percentage of sales from participating venues will be donated to local public schools. Also new are full-page color photographs featuring neighborhood venues and boutique items from over 20 retail businesses.  All participating Unwrap WPB merchants will be listed in the Holiday Guide along with details on special discounts and freebies at salons, galleries, boutiques and restaurants.  Prior to Unwrap WPB launch December 1, thousands of Holiday Guides will be distributed and available, for free, at participating merchants, concierges, on the street, and online via wickerparkbucktown.com.
