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 12 from 4-7PM, stopping in local businesses for a tasty sip, and finding unique gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list.

Warm Bevvy Walk tickets are $10/person, and $5 of every ticket sale will benefit the Rotary Club of Evanston. The Club is leading a service project in partnership with Watts of Love and the Rotary Club of Moshi, Tanzania to provide hand-held solar-powered lights to communities without electricity. This initiative will help these rural communities to break free from "energy poverty" and lead them on a path to economic development.

STEP 1: Purchase your Warm Bevvy Walk tickets from this website - and invite friends to join you!

STEP 2: Check-in on Thursday, December 12:
