First Night Evanston makes hearts sing, hands clap, toes tap, bodies dance, faces smile, children laugh and spirits soar. With performances throughout the evening,

it’s a family event for everyone.

​

Thanks to the Music Institute for the beautiful venue. We are grateful for our donors and sponsors and for the leadership of our founders and board. 

​

Music Institute of Chicago (MIC) in Evanston is hosting the event this year.

​​

Parking is free at all City lots using the parking app and entering Holiday2024.​

​

3 levels of parking are at the City lot at the Holiday Inn, just a block behind MIC at 1501 Sherman.

​​

First Presbyterian Church has graciously agreed to let us use their parking lot, a block south at 1427 Chicago Avenue.

​​

And the parking lot at Bank of America at 1336 Chicago is available. That's one block south.

​​

There's a huge city parking garage at the corner of Chicago and Church Street, 2 short blocks north.

​

And another City parking lot north of the Woman's Club at the northwest corner of that intersection.

Again use the app for free parking.
