Very_large_spring_sip_n_stroll
Take part in Downtown Evanston's Flower Power fun to push forward into spring with positive energy and good vibes for our community.
 
Join us on Saturday, May 6, 12-3pm for our Spring Sip 'N Stroll! Explore downtown with friends and family visiting local shops and cafes for sips of tea, coffee, bubbly and treats! Event is free but please RSVP here so we know how many people to expect!

While you are out shopping and dining, check out the "Flower Power" windows, indicated with a asterisk (**) after their business name. Vote for your favorite floral-themed window AND vote for your favorite parasol as part of the window display. The window designs will be up through May 31 so make sure you check them out in person. In addition, head to Fountain Square for a fun floral installation starting May 5. 

This year, if you shop at 5 or more businesses during the Sip 'N Stroll, bring your receipts to Creative Coworking (922 Davis St.) between 12-4pm during the Sip 'N Stroll to enter a raffle to win a downtown gift basket filled with goodies from every participating business (valued at over $400!)
