About this Event
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 10 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 the PTA Equity Project which helps to provide equitable access to educational enrichment and community building opportunities for all District 65 students.
A special thanks to J. Blanton Plumbing, Midwest Express Clinic and Zenleaf for helping to sponsor this year's event,
and to Rotary International for hosting the check-in!
