Downtown Evanston is excited to host the second summer of Thursday Night Markets, an outdoor market featuring local shops, artists and makers. All are invited to spend an evening in downtown shopping direct from local businesses and creative entrepreneurs, enjoying tunes by DJ Johnny Price, and cold beer from Smylie Brothers Brewing Co. Grab dinner to go from a nearby restaurant to dine outside at Fountain Square.
The markets take place from 4-8pm on the first Thursday of each month – June 2, July 7, August 4 and September 1. Vendors will set up on Sherman Avenue which will be closed from Davis Street to the south end of the plaza. Downtown Evanston will have big games and other activities for families at the plaza across Davis Street. The market will feature 30 plus vendors offering jewelry, apparel, baked goods, paintings, beauty products, books, prints and more. For a list of vendors visit downtownevanston.org/nightmarket
