Small Business Saturday is a nationwide celebration that takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage everyone to support local businesses (this year, it's November 29). In this season of giving, consider the heartwarming experience of supporting the economic vitality of your community by choosing to shop local in Downtown Evanston!
Downtown Evanston is preparing its annual Holiday Shopping Passport to help guide your local shopping experience, and offer a gift that gives back to the Evanston business community. Spend $100 (or more) at participating Downtown Evanston shops on Saturday, November 29 from 11AM - 5PM and you'll receive a $20 Evanston E-Gift Card -- so you can do even more local shopping!
The Holiday Shopping Passports will be available at any of the participating business listed below. When you check out at the register after a purchase, collect a signature(s) and the amount(s) spent at each participating location. After you've spent a total of $100 or more, please bring your Holiday Shopping Passport to Creative Coworking (922 Davis Street) on November 29 from 11AM – 5PM to receive your complimentary $20 Evanston E-Gift Card. All gift cards will be provided electronically, via email.
Back for its third year during Small Business Saturday, get into the holiday spirit with a FREE trolley ride between 11AM – 3PM around the Main-Dempster Mile and Downtown Evanston! The trolley will make a continuous loop and stop at various locations throughout both business districts, this time with a special guest! Thanks to Northwestern Neighborhood & Community Relations for sponsoring the trolley and supporting Evanston businesses!
Also back this year, the McGaw YMCA is offering FREE childcare between 1-4PM for children ages 3-10. Drop-off your child for a fun-filled afternoon at the McGaw YMCA while you support our local businesses! Learn more and register here.
