My wife and I have gone to First Night in Evanston, Il just north of Chicago 4 years in a row now.

Needless to say, it is a pleasure and Evanston really knows how to do it right. Lot's of people of all ages, family friendly, and something for everyone.

Every year they have had a good bluegrass band. Last year they had Weavermania which I enjoyed. For the last year we also got to see and hear some grat Klezmer music.

If you are ever in Chicago New Year's Eve, please consider it.
