End of Summer Sale and art and entertainment in Wicker Park and Bucktown

It's the WPB End of Summer Sale and many of your favorite neighborhood art spots are participating! On top of that, there is still plenty in our latest WPB Weekend Arts Guide to do and see, either from home or out and about.

Please note that the current situation has a lot of businesses adapting quickly. Hours listed here may not be exact and are subject to change at any moment. Please check in with a business before visiting in person and be patient and understanding if hours differ from those here or a space has elected to change their reopening strategy.

Be sure to always wear a mask in public, in businesses and while on public ways with others. Wash your hands frequently and remain properly distanced. Always respect a business' customer limit, health practices, and hygiene requirements. 

We also suggest visiting the ARTS FOR ILLINOIS website!
