Yelp's First-Ever Holiday House Popping Up In Downtown Highland Park

December 14-15: 11am-5pm (next to Jamba Juice)

This holiday season, Yelp is working closely with small businesses around Chicago’s North Shore to encourage consumers to shop locally and support their own community whenever possible. As part of its efforts, Yelp is partnering with Renaissance Place (aka “The Northwest Pole”) in Downtown Highland Park, Illinois, for a pop-up Holiday House from Saturday, December 14 through Sunday, December 15, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days. 

The Holiday House at Renaissance Place will offer two days of family activities and shopper amenities, including free gift wrapping, hot cocoa, live music, gingerbread house building, card making, a giant LEGO build, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Storytelling with The Storybook Mom and other festive fun. Charitable folks who visit the Holiday House can also make a donation to the Central Illinois Tornado Disaster Relief Fund.
