The Downtown Naperville Alliance presents the Great Indoor Winter Sidewalk Sales from January 16-19, 2026, transforming the Central Business District into a shopper's paradise with unbeatable winter deals and exclusive spring previews. This four-day shopping extravaganza features participating shops throughout downtown Naperville offering deep discounts on winter merchandise to make room for incoming spring fashions.
Shoppers can explore 150+ businesses where retailers slash prices on apparel, accessories, home goods, and seasonal items. The event provides the perfect opportunity to redeem Downtown Naperville gift cards, accepted at participating stores where folks can let the shopping begin. Free parking is available throughout downtown, making it convenient for visitors to shop multiple stores without worrying about parking fees.
Downtown Naperville recently welcomed exciting new retailers including Abercrombie & Fitch opening January 31, ALO featuring yoga/athleisure wear, and the returning Barnes & Noble at 9 W. Jackson Ave in spring 2025. These new additions join 300+ existing establishments offering trendy fashion apparel, activewear, intimates, and specialty items.
The Winter Sidewalk Sales create a festive shopping atmosphere where residents and visitors can support local enterprises while treating themselves to traditional styles and delicious eateries. Businesses like Kendra Scott, The Gallery (athletic sneakers), Everything But Water (designer swimwear), and Le Chocolat du Bouchard create diverse shopping experiences for every taste and budget.
Event hours vary by store, with most retailers open extended hours during the four-day sale.
