Presented by the Executive Club of Champaign County
Wednesday, December 9, 2026
The Windy City offers so many wonderful things to do, and the 2026 bus trip gives you the opportunity to Choose Your Own Chicago Adventure, on your own or with others!
Get ready for a day of royal fun, holiday sparkle, and unforgettable memories! The Executive Club of Champaign County is heading back to the Windy City, and you’re invited to join us to Choose Your Own Chicago Adventure. ❄️
Whether you're ready to shop ‘til you drop, take in the holiday lights, catch a show, visit a museum, be pampered at a spa, or simply enjoy good food and great company, this trip is your perfect seasonal escape.
Here’s what’s in store:
Showtime!
Optional tickets are available for the almost-sold-out Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical at Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. Running time: 107 minutes, including intermission.
️Holiday Shopping
Explore Chicago’s festive storefronts, iconic markets, and dazzling décor. Whether you're grabbing gifts or treating yourself, it’s the perfect time to shop.
Relax & Recharge
Not into shopping? Spend the day your way—book a spa session, wander the streets with a warm drink in hand, or visit a museum or cafe at your own pace.
Meals
Start your day with a light breakfast on the bus, including coffee, snacks, and mimosas. On the return ride, enjoy a variety of treats and drinks.
️Lunch and Dinner plans- We will coordinate optional group meals at local restaurants. If you'd like to host a meal, let us know! (Lunch and dinner costs are not included in the registration fee.)
