Dedicated to the preservation of the historic downtown. Representing a variety of downtown restaurants, an array of shops and services and entertainment, including the famous Genesee Theatre and ArtWauk, held the third Saturday of every month with free access to all venues. WMS receives support from all sectors of the community: residents, small business owners, property owners, developers, the City of Waukegan, and other entities. These partnerships have helped WMS to lead the way toward a more vibrant downtown that is drawing people and activities back to its core.
