Things to Do in Wheaton
Things to Do in Wheaton IL
Renewal is the new normal in Wheaton this year. The new streetscape on Front Street in Downtown Wheaton is drawing the attention of prospective businesses. The second phase of downtown improvements is now underway for Wesley, Cross and Hale streets. Work on this phase is expected to be completed in early fall 2019. Liberty Street will be updated beginning spring 2020. The wider sidewalks, lighting, community fireplace and decorative fountain at the new Martin Memorial Plaza are a testament to the City of Wheaton’s commitment to maintain an updated and vibrant downtown for its residents.
Downtown Wheaton is quickly becoming a dining destination in the western suburbs, currently boasting 37 restaurants, coffee shops and confectionaries. Several new names will be added to the roster this year including Fearless Donuts, Pacific Tacos, 302 Wheaton and Altiro of Wheaton.
The Danada Area of Wheaton is experiencing a transformation of its own with new businesses, new development and a rising occupancy rate. Rice Lake Square welcomed Pete’s Fresh Market. Danada Square East is bustling with a great mix of grocery, retail restaurants and services including LemonShark Poke and Aligned Modern Health. Danada Square West is pleased to have a new gift store, Every Good Thing.
Town Square Wheaton has welcomed Salon Lofts, Prairie Path Books, Luggage & More and True North Clinical Associates.
The City of Wheaton is studying the East Roosevelt Road Corridor from Carlton Avenue east to the city limits to determine its future use. They will review existing zoning regulations and propose new categories of land uses aligned with current market conditions. Realistic options for maintaining and enhancing the existing affordable housing opportunities are also being explored.
We can see the light through the dust, and our community continues to thrive and prosper!
Always held the first full weekend in June. Kick off summer at Memorial Park at this party for Wheaton featuring a carnival, live entertainment in the bandshell, food vendors, beer garden, marketplace in the park and oodles of activities for all ages. www.TasteofWheaton.com

Welcome to Wheaton
To all of our Wheaton friends and neighbors,
You all know what a great city we have and it was only fitting that the editors at Money Magazine finally reached the same conclusion when they named Wheaton as the “Best Place to Live” in the State of Illinois in their October 2018 edition and ranked us as the 27th overall in the nation! Recognition like this doesn’t come without the efforts and contributions of many great people and organizations. Our city government, park district, police and fire departments, District 200 schools, many private schools, religious centers, not-for-profits, community service organizations and, of course, our own Wheaton Chamber members all contribute to making us a caring and welcoming city. When you add in the many events and parades it is easy to see why we are such a closely-knit community.
The members of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce share their talents and experience with each other to add one more layer of success to the mix. Together we know more and have experienced more than any one of us could do on our own. Thanks to all of you who help make us the wonderful city we are and please consider joining our team. The Wheaton Chamber of Commerce welcomes all of you.
Marty Keller
President of the 2019 Board of Directors
Mayor Welcome
Wheaton Mayor Welcome
For the last 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Mayor of Wheaton. And as I look back even further, to my time as a Councilman, Wheaton Park District Commissioner, and President of the Wheaton Chamber and Downtown Wheaton Association, I can truly say I have enjoyed every minute.
The ribbon cuttings, the parades, the visits to churches and schools – it’s all been an absolute honor. I’ve loved learning about our community while hosting Chat with the Mayor and I’m thankful for the dear memories that were created while attending events that are steeped in Wheaton tradition.
The Wheaton business community is an integral part of the city and our Chamber of Commerce serves an important role in connecting us all. Our local businesses make our not-so-small city feel like a close-knit family.
As we look towards the future, I know the city will continue to see success with newly elected Mayor Suess and the wonderful council members that are dedicating their time to make Wheaton the best it can be. And our city staff’s attention to detail helps in keeping Wheaton the special place it is.
Kathleen and I are proud to call Wheaton home and we thank you for all your support and friendship over the years. Take care everyone, and we’ll see you around town!
Michael J. Gresk
Wheaton Mayor, 2007-2019
