Thursday Night Live!
Back for its 17th year, Thursday Night Live (formerly It's Thursday, Let's Dance) returns with a 10-concert series to downtown Evanston. From mid-June through August, each Thursday night will spotlight a different music genre from Jazz and Swing to Rock and Roll and Beatles covers.
Each concert is from 7-9pm at the plaza at 1603 Orrington Ave. Bring friends and family to enjoy an evening of live music, dancing and relaxing. Grab a to-go dinner from one of the local restaurants to dine al fresco or grab your partner to dance the night away. Chairs are provided, but guests are welcome to bring other seating.
This is a free event and all ages are welcome. Thursday Night Live, in downtown Evanston, is accessible via public transit by taking the CTA Purple Line 'el' to the Davis; or take Metra to the Davis stop.
