COMMUNITY CALENDAR

We are proud to name Mrs. Dione Sims, President and Founder of Unity Unlimited and the "Granddaughter of Juneteenth," as Grand Marshal of Opal's Walk for Freedom in Evanston.

As Illinois' host city, Opal’s Walk For Freedom, Evanston IL will represent the entire state.

Participants will walk 2.5 miles along our beautiful lakefront to symbolize the two-and-a-half years between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the moment freedom was finally enforced in Texas on June 19th, 1865. The walk is a powerful reminder that freedom in America has often arrived unevenly — and that justice requires collective action to move it forward.

Dads (and Moms and Kids and Aunties and Friends) will love checking out this eclectic collection of driving machines.

Celebrate the launch of Lucy Knisley's picture book, Searching for Wocks, with storytime, rock painting, and the Temporary Wocks Museum!

Booked is partnering with Art Makers Outpost to celebrate Lucy Knisley's newest picture book, Searching for Wocks!

Join us for storytime with Lucy, rock painting, and the inaugural installation of the Temporary Wocks Museum!

You can BYOW (bring your own wock) to display in the museum! All wocks will return to wock collectors after being displayed, along with their museum placard.

We will also have an Adopt-a-Wock box for anyone who needs a new wock.

Drawing on the work of Jung and Joseph Campbell’s exploration of myth, this program follows three Grail heroes—Lancelot (the Divided Heart), Galahad (the Way of Purity), and Parsifal (the Overcomer)—as archetypal guides through the soul’s transformative journey. Through the lens of the Grail legend, participants will encounter a symbolic map of what Jungians call individuation: the process of becoming one’s most authentic self. In this telling, the Grail is not an object to be possessed, but a call to service. The journey inward—through conflict, purification, and integration—becomes how one not only transforms oneself but contributes to the healing of the world.

Learn about the energy of crystals and add to all you know and have discovered about them. Put into perspective of how they work, what you can do with them and learn about their nature. Hosted by Daves Rock Shop and held at: Clairvoyant Center.

There is literally always something amazing to do in the neighborhood once you understand that we're the home of one of the most amazing concert venues in Chicagoland. Enjoy browsing the packed schedule at the link.
