Pick up an event ticket with a map of participating shops and restaurants starting at 11:30 a.m. at the MainStreet Libertyville tent located in Cook Park near Church Street.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the event (subject to availability). Ticket holders will receive a dessert sample at each participating location; ticket sharing is permitted. Purchase tickets in advance to guarantee participation; this popular summer event usually sells out.
