2026 Red Invitation Event
Sunday Dec 6, 2026
Throughout Winnetka, Northfield and Glencoe
For 47 years, the beloved “Red Invitation” Holiday Sunday has marked the official beginning of the season throughout Winnetka, Northfield, and Glencoe. What began as a creative idea from a local retailer has grown into one of our community’s most cherished traditions: a day dedicated to joyful shopping and holiday magic. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome you once again on Sunday, December 6th for the annual Red Invitation Holiday Event. (Some businesses may choose to extend their participation dates.)
Our villages will come alive with festive storefronts, special promotions, sweet treats, and the signature “Red Invitation” with offers from participating boutiques, restaurants, and service businesses.
You can find all the up-to-date information about participating businesses on the wngchamber.com website. When out shopping, you can identify participating retailers by their festive balloons and Red Invitation Participant poster.
