Enjoy a sampling of sweet treats and explore downtown Libertyville’s shops and restaurants at the 10th Annual MainSweet Dessert Walk hosted by MainStreet Libertyville from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, during the Festival of the Arts.

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. The event begins at noon when ticket holders may begin their walk through downtown Libertyville to sample tasty desserts and experience Libertyville’s independently-owned boutiques and restaurants.

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.
