Best Labor Day Parties, Concerts, Festivals & Things To Do in Evanston

The last long weekend of summer is worth using well, and Evanston gives you options. Catch the parade, wander through a festival, and let the evening turn into a concert, a party, or live music somewhere downtown. Families tend to do best at a food festival or an outdoor spot where the kids can burn off an afternoon. Rather spend the three days somewhere quieter? A weekend getaway is close at hand. Look through Labor Day 2026 events around Evanston and book your tickets before they run out.
