Get ready to hit the sidewalks of Downtown Evanston and Main-Dempster Mile shopping districts during the 2016 Sidewalk Sale! Independent retailers and national chains will set up shop with too-good-to-resist deals on the sidewalks throughout downtown. Expect to find great deals on apparel, shoes, one-of-a-kind accessories and decorative arts, including the best in specialty and hand-crafted goods. Note that not all retailers will have items on the sidewalk but will have great deals inside their stores.
Local artists have been invited to be a part of the action in downtown Evanston. "Artists Row" will be set up on Sherman Ave. between Davis St. and Church St., displaying paintings, clothing, jewelry, home goods, accessories and more for all to peruse, enjoy and purchase! Artists will display their wares in downtown Evanston on Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to shopping and art, there will be big games and kid-friendly art activities set-up in Fountain Square! Challenge friends and family to a match of ping-pong, life-sized chess, giant Jenga and Scrabble or take part in a massive chalk art . Then, head over to Hyatt House located at 1515 Chicago Ave. to check out the outdoor terrace and enjoy a complimentary, cold glass of lemonade (regular and spiked!)
