Hubbard Woods Design District First Friday
Hubbard Woods comes alive on First Friday nights!
The Hubbard Woods Design District (HWDD) continues to host its exciting monthly “First Friday” events! On October 5th, the district will feature a Cocktail Hop, with each store featuring its own signature libation. Stroll the neighborhood and taste them all! Participating businesses will feature unique offerings including lively art, striking design, special presentations and must-have new products. In addition to First Friday, HWDD will also be hosting its yearly “Art Attack” event, during which participating businesses host a local artist from the North Shore Art League. First Friday hours will be from 5 to 8 pm. All locations will offer drinks and food, and some will even have live music!
The 19 participating merchants are:

Participating stores are identified with festive “First Friday” signs and balloons out front. First Friday Design District maps are available at all locations.
First Fridays in Hubbard Woods were begun in October, 2016, by Vivid Art Gallery, an HWDD member. Intrigued by the gallery’s success in attracting the local community to a Friday night event, HWDD saw an opportunity to turn it into something bigger. According to Paul Zurowski, founding member of HWDD and partner in Sawbridge Studios, “Our ultimate goal is to get all of Hubbard Woods involved, making First Fridays a real event for the community. It’s an easy after-work or pre-dinner destination where friends can meet, mingle and shop.”
The Hubbard Woods Design District is an association of businesses located in the three-block retail area on the north end of Winnetka along Green Bay Road between Tower Road and Scott Avenue, commonly referred to as “Hubbard Woods.” Its designation as a “Design District” reflects the heavy concentration of art, fashion and design-focused establishments in the area.
