EVANSTON, IL A schedule of special events in Evanston this summer was approved by the Evanston City Council Monday. The list (see below) include traditional favorites like the Starlight Concert Series Movies in the Park and Bike the Ridge, as well as two new events organizers hope to debut this year.
But approval of some of the summer events like Northwestern University s commencement address, a concert series at Canal Shores and plans for food fests, charity walks and outdoor markets was conditional on changes to state rules issued in response to coronavirus pandemic.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and our local sexual assault crisis center is turning the downtown teal.
Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault (PCASA) has launched their annual âWalk A Mile In Her Shoesâ campaign. The event, which is usually held on the streets of downtown will be held virtually for another year â participants can walk, raise funds and awareness all month long.
Teal ribbons went up late last week to remind residents of the importance of services like PCASA, whose offices have been closed to the public since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
