Venue shots, the crowd, a comedian on the 707 stage — and the Friday night every birthday girl in Evanston should know about. It all ends on the Free Birthday Party Fridays flyer, listed under Coming Up below.
Three standing nights, every week — steppin' on Tuesdays, the mic on Thursdays, the dance floor on Fridays.

Hosted by REGG1, featuring DJ TOP5IVE with special guest DJs and DJ Cepeda. Good music, good vibes, good people — an adult setting.
Chicago-style steppin' every Tuesday evening at the 707 — smooth steps, good company, and the skyline on the flyer says the rest.
Special nights and classes at the 707, on top of the weekly rhythm.
Mike Samp headlines a night of stand-up with his friends on the Culture Connects 707 stage — the same wall, the same crowd, one big Friday night.
