Downtown Summer Sounds: The McNary Experience

Join us on August 28 from 6-8PM for a concert by The McNary Experience offering a soulful musical experience combining old school and new school tunes that engage crowds of all ages.

The concert is presented in partnership with the Evanston Divine 9. Stop by the tents of these nine historically Black fraternities and sororities to learn more about their work in our community.

During the concert, there will be free children's art activities provided by the Ridgeville Park District. Beer will be available for purchase from Sketchbook Brewing Co., along with wine, cocktails, and soft drinks from Five & Dime. C&W Market & Ice Cream Parlor will be selling ice cream, and several food trucks will also be on-site.

THANKS TO OUR 2025 SPONSORS:
City of Evanston

UL Research Institutes and UL Standards & Engagement
Golub & Company

Please note that the concert will take place on Sherman and Orrington Avenues, which will both be closed to vehicle traffic between Grove and Davis Street. If you're driving into Downtown Evanston for the concert series, we recommend parking in the Sherman Plaza Self Park garage--it's only a block away from Fountain Square.
