Closing Out 2025
From neighborhood businesses to arts and culture organizations, and thriving business districts, Evanston is bursting with creativity and we love telling that story!
The city of Evanston’s Economic Development team are urban archeologists who dig to find all the hidden gems that make our town a destination to shop, dine, and explore. We strive to bolster, support and increase its visibility.
In fact, we believe that Evanston is the best-kept secret by the Lake and in 2026, it will continue to shine even brighter!
All the best wishes to you and yours during this holiday season as we stare towards a new year of possibilities, dreams and goals.
