The Great Bake Walk 2026 at Lincoln Square Ravenswood neighborhood – Chicago, IL

Follow the Crumbs to Something Sweet! Treat your taste buds to something special and stroll through Lincoln Square for a one-of-a-kind morning adventure: The Great Bake Walk!

This 2nd annual event invites you to explore our vibrant neighborhood while sampling delicious baked goods from a variety of local bakeries—served up inside our small business storefronts.

As you walk the neighborhood, you’ll stop into participating businesses and receive one small, sweet (or savory) baked good at each location. Think: cookies, bars, pies, donuts, breads, and more—all perfectly portioned for a tasty journey. Enjoy them along the way, or pack them up in your complimentary, branded bakery box to savor later.

Select from four different route options: Whisk, Spatula, Rolling Pin, or Mixing Bowl. All routes include 7 business stops with baked treats. To select the route you’d prefer, view each route ticket’s description for business stops/bakery pairings as well as approximate walking distance.

Want More? Upgrade your experience by purchasing a Boozy Add-on Ticket to include 2 exclusive beverage stops where you’ll sample one adult drink at each one – think Seasonal Craft Beer, Bloody Mary or mimosa, served at local bars and shops along the route.

*Drinks subject to change. All ticket-holders for Boozy Add-on Ticket must be of legal drinking age . IDs will be checked at check-in, so you must be present in person to check-in.
