About Us

Explore Irving Park Chicago was formed as a catalyst to develop the potential of our local business district.

EIPC seeks to promote our neighborhood both within and outside of the immediate area as a destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, and activities, by publicizing our current businesses, recruiting and attracting new businesses, creating and sponsoring marketing events, and improving both the image and physical environment of our commercial district.

Vision

The vision of Explore Irving Park Chicago is to assist businesses in joining, establishing themselves, growing or continuing to stay in the Irving Park community.
