This annual celebration will feature a visit from Evanston Mayor Elizabeth B. Tisdahl, Rotary International’s Deputy General Secretary, Pete Deberge and Santa Claus, who will arrive at Fountain Square on an Evanston fire truck. Immediately following the tree lighting ceremony there will be a festive warm-up reception with holiday goodies hosted by Rotary International in their CafĂ© International at One Rotary Center, at 1560 Sherman Ave., across from Fountain Square.
