Things to Do in Libertyville
Nestled in the heart of Lake County, Libertyville blends small-town charm with vibrant experiences for every kind of visitor. Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer, you’ll find something to love around every corner.
Stroll and Shop Downtown
Discover the inviting brick-lined streets of downtown Libertyville, filled with locally owned boutiques, home décor shops, and specialty stores. From handcrafted jewelry and books to gourmet treats and fashion, the downtown district offers a walkable, welcoming shopping experience.
Dine and Unwind
Savor flavors from around the world at Libertyville’s award-winning restaurants, cafes, and breweries. Enjoy a casual bite on a sunny patio, a fine dining experience in a historic building, or a night out with live music at Austins or Mickey Finn’s Brewery, Illinois’ first craft brewery.
Explore the Outdoors
Libertyville is home to over 500 acres of parks and open space, including scenic trails, fishing spots, and playgrounds. Walk, run, or bike along the Des Plaines River Trail, kayak at Independence Grove Forest Preserve, or enjoy a picnic at Butler Lake Park.
Experience Local Events
Throughout the year, Libertyville comes alive with events that bring the community together — from Out to Lunch concerts and Farmers Markets in the summer to Dickens of a Holiday and the Festival of the Arts. There’s always something happening in town.
