THANK YOU FOR JOINING US! IT WAS LOVELY SEEING YOU :-)
***********************************************************************************************
Please RSVP on Eventbrite. The event is free and RSVP is not required, but it helps us with head count! Thank you!

On June 22 from 6:30 - 9PM, Central Street Evanston invites you to join us for our annual summer evening takeout picnic in the park. Order take out from one of our many Central Street restaurants, grab your picnic blanket, and come listen to indie darlings, The Oh Yeahs, under the lights in Independence Park. We'll kick things off at 6:30PM, so get there early to claim your spot and find your friends. 

Special visit from the C&W Market Ice Cream Parlor truck!

Thank you to our balloon sponsors, Paper Source! 

Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the park, but you can stop by Beer on Central, at 1930 Central Street, from 6 -  9 PM for a free beer tasting from Great Central Brewing Company in Chicago.
