This holiday season, let’s keep the lights shining bright on Central Street. Let’s visit our local shops to gift from our hearts. Let’s double the impact of each and every gift we buy and invest in a local business. And in doing so, let’s share the peace, love and light on Central Street with everyone. Because if there was ever a year to bundle up, explore locally, and gift with an impact, this one is it.
In an effort to provide more time and space for you to shop, Central Street Evanston is hosting Late Night Thursdays and Small Business Saturdays every week through December. Businesses are taking all precautions to provide safe shopping experiences, requiring masks at all times, limiting then number of customers in their stores, providing hand sanitizer and offering online shopping with local delivery and shipping.
The Evanston Art Center’s Winter Arts & Crafts Expo is one of the largest and most celebrated craft shows in the Chicago area. The annual Winter Expo features original arts and crafts by over 140 selected artisans, featuring works of jewelry, ceramics, fiber, metal, glass, painting, photography, mixed-media, and more.
