After fifteen successful years of First Night Evanston we find it necessary to take this coming year off.

We express our heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support and participation throuhought the years from the City of Evanston, the Evanston business community, the dozens of churches, hotels and other venues across the City, the scores of sponsors, the hundreds of performers and volunteers, thousands of attendees and so many others who have made this an amazing, substance-free celebration of arts, community and renewal for audiences of all ages.

Sincerely,

First Night Evanston Board of Directors
