PravdaFest, September 12, 2026 at Fitzgeralds: What a day! Huge thanks to all the friends, fans, and @pravdarecords family who came out to celebrate with us on Saturday- we loved seeing every one of you! Thanks to the incredible sponsors and partners who supported the event, to @fitzgeraldsnightclub for being the most gracious hosts, to @james.vanosdol for his MC skills, and to our small but mighty team who worked to make PravdaFest a success. And major kudos to the all-star lineup of musicians and artists who provided the soundtrack to a glorious day! This was one for the books, for sure, and we are so grateful for this awesome music community that continues to grow, 42 years strong 🎶✨

The wait is (almost) over! Join us Saturday (tomorrow!) for a soft opening of the new @evanston_made storefront at 822 Dempster St! Offering a rotating selection of work by Evanston Made members, the space promises to bring visual art and handmade goods more visibility, engagement & sales. They’ll be open Saturday 12-5p, with an official ribbon cutting during the May 14 Arts & Craft Beverage Crawl - stop by and say hello!
