Participating is easy. Buy a ticket, bring your craving for sweet creations and receive one dessert tasting at each designated stop. Check off all the stops … and you will sure to be satiated, but in only the most delightful way! And a bonus – this event is held in conjunction with the Annual Festival of the Arts held in Cook Park by the David Adler Music & Arts Center. Taste a dessert. Enjoy. Stroll, mingle and repeat.
The Dessert Walk takes place within the three-block radius of beautiful, historic downtown Libertyville, so wear your walking shoes. Merchants and restaurants alike will be handing out carefully chosen confections, and there will be a dessert tent located in Cook Park, too. And be sure to visit Libertyville’s fabulous shops while you are in town.
