On Saturday, November 25, the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is transforming Lincoln Square Ravenswood into a winter wonderland to celebrate Small Business Saturday.

The day-long event will showcase shopping deals local businesses have to offer alongside bringing the community a variety of festive activities to kick off the Christmas season. Santa will appear at The Perfect Cup on Damen Avenue, allowing kids to take pictures and share their Christmas wishes. Pictures with Santa will also be hosted at the Urban Pooch Canine Life Center, enabling pet owners to bring their furry friends and snap photos with him.

Adding to the spirit of Christmas, carolers will perform at Giddings Plaza every hour, immersing shoppers in the holiday experience as they take advantage of all the deals. In the evening, the plaza will be lit up in its tree lighting ceremony, marking the end of the opening deal day.
