Downtown Evanston celebrates Hygge Fest

Join us Saturday, February 11, at Fountain Square for an outdoor Hygge Fest celebration. Bring your family and friends from 12 to 2pm to watch live ice carving, enjoy a cup of complimentary hot chocolate and make s’mores with Gearhead Outfitters.

From 11am to 7pm, warm up in My Sauna Club, a mobile sauna right at Fountain Square! You can reserve the entire sauna for 6 people or share a sauna session with new friends. After, head to Newport Coffee or Patisserie Coralie to enjoy a coffee and pastry or check out some cozy items at local shops. Book a sauna session here.

Take part in a creative workshop, yoga or meditation class or check out the shopping and dining specials taking place throughout the month.
