Downtown Evanston's 2025 Warm Bevvy Walk

Celebrate what we love most about the holiday season -- a mug filled with warm bevvies, shopping, and showing love to our local businesses! Enjoy a self-guided stroll through Downtown Evanston on Thursday, December 11 from 4-7PM, stopping in local businesses for a tasty sip, while finding unique gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list.

Warm Bevvy Walk tickets are $10/person, and $5 from every ticket sold will benefit the Evanston Nouveau Rotary Club which will use funds for projects to help those experiencing food insecurity. A special thanks to Artem Pop Up Gallery and WasteNot Compost for sponsoring the event!
