For the first time since 2013, nonprofit First Night Evanston did not host its annual New Year’s Eve celebration, largely due to decreasing attendance and fewer corporate sponsor contributions, the organization said. A “family-friendly community celebration of the arts,” First Night Evanston features acts and performances from local and national talents, according to its website..
2022 is coming to a close and many are looking forward to ringing in the new year. While some may choose to take the train down to Chicago, the North Shore suburbs have several events and dining options to help celebrate 2023.
What do music, dancing, a poetry slam, mad scientists and a flea circus have in common? They’re all featured in one of the most unique New Year’s Eve celebrations in Evanston. First Night Evanston, a “family-friendly community celebration of the arts,” runs all afternoon until midnight every Dec. 31. This year will mark the organization’s.
