Evanston Folk Festival returns to lake front at Dawes Park: Saturday, September 12th + Sunday, September 13th from 11:30am to 8:30pm. Join us on our spectacular lake front for a celebration of the rich folk music tradition that has guided Space since day one, and has so many roots in our Evanston community. A folky folk festival if ever there was one, and with the most stunning views of Lake Michigan, were honored to be entrusted with this special location and responsibility.
