Get into the holiday spirit during our annual Warm Bevvy Walk on Thursday, December 11 from 4-7PM! Enjoy a self-guided stroll throughout Downtown Evanston, visiting shops, restaurants, and other businesses that will be offering a variety of complimentary warm beverages, along with shopping or dining specials. A special thanks to Artem Pop Up Gallery and WasteNot Compost for helping to sponsor this year's event!
