COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Stay tuned for rules and participating Waldo lairs.

Find Waldo in dozens of stores on the Main-Dempster Mile (and Downtown Evanston too!) and win prizes from our friends at Booked.

Prize Party at Booked on July 26th.

A diverse group of people encircles the spark of the Fourth of July. This concept captures the healing power of kindness and the guiding light of truth and justice, represented by a central sparkler radiating energy through the community. The composition gradually evolves into the shape of a larger sparkler—symbolizing warmth, celebration, and togetherness. As the sparkler radiates outward, it visually reinforces how truth and kindness create a ripple effect that lights up the entire community.“
