Schaumburg, IL – Residents in Schaumburg and surrounding Cook County communities can enjoy a dose of holiday cheer next week as Schaumburg Township prepares to host its annual Ugly Sweater Holiday Bingo Party on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
According to Schaumburg Township officials, the doors will open at 12 p.m., with bingo games beginning promptly at 1 p.m. The event encourages attendees to wear their most festive, humorous, or tacky holiday sweaters as part of a light-hearted seasonal gathering designed to bring neighbors together.
Township leaders say the event traditionally draws a strong turnout, particularly from seniors and regular members of the Thursday bingo club. Organizers noted that the focus of this year’s gathering is simple: community connection, holiday spirit, and plenty of laughs to close out the season.
The Ugly Sweater Party will take place at Schaumburg Township’s community facility, located near major suburban hubs northwest of Chicago. Staff say visitors can expect a warm, cheerful atmosphere with holiday décor, social activities, and multiple bingo rounds throughout the afternoon.
While the township did not announce prizes for sweater entries, officials emphasized that the goal is fun—not competition. Attendees are encouraged to bring friends, dress whimsically, and enjoy a relaxing break amid the busy holiday period.
Residents from Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Roselle, and nearby northwest suburbs are welcome to attend. No preregistration details were listed as of Wednesday, and officials advise guests to arrive on time to secure seating.
