The Fountain Square Art Festival is presented by the Evanston Chamber of Commerce and has become a mainstay of the NorthShore summer fair season.  In addition to art and food, a full line-up of musical offerings will entertain fest goers from noon each day.

 

A NEW FamilyFest Activity Area will feature interactive art for children and adults, under the guidance of the creative folks of the Evanston Art Center, Adirondack chairs for lounging, the City of Evanston’s Mobile Water Station for eco-friendly water bottle fill-ups and a “selfie” station with an eye-popping background.  The exciting art project is sponsored by Evanston’s Bottle and Bottega and Good’s of Evanston.  In addition, representatives from LifeSource will be on hand Sunday. Volunteer opportunities are available for both days.
