The holiday season is almost here, and Antioch’s shops and restaurants are ready to welcome visitors from near and far.

A stroll through our historic downtown delivers the festive sights, sounds, and aromas that make holiday shopping feel magical. Antioch offers a warm, inviting experience you won’t find in big-box retail.

With more than 100 eclectic boutiques, specialty stores, and locally owned restaurants, Antioch is the perfect destination for discovering unique, meaningful gifts you won’t see anywhere else.

This year’s Small Business Saturday, which is November 29, is an ideal opportunity to explore everything Antioch has to offer. Supporting small businesses doesn’t just help our local economy—it strengthens the entrepreneurial backbone of communities across the region. Every dollar spent at a small business makes a real impact: 67 cents stays within the community, with 44 cents directly supporting the small business owners and their employees.

Whether you’re a neighbor or visiting from the Chicagoland or Milwaukee areas, make Antioch part of your holiday plans.

Shop small. Shop unique. Shop the wonderful local businesses of Antioch.
