Evanston's community-wide new year's eve event is back and this year at just one site so that no matter the weather, you can be comfy and cozy all evening. There's a parking lot south of First Presbyterian Church that holds 90 cars and the website map shows many other nearby parking lots.

Family programming starts at 6 p.m. with Jason Kollum, magician, juggler, balloon twister and Jeanie B! and the Jelly Beans with music to get you and the kids up and moving in the aisles.

At 8, Corky Siegel entertains with his first set. He is known internationally as one of the world's great blues harmonica players, blues pianist, singer, songwriter, author and celebrated composer of blues-classical forms. He is a recent winner of the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award for Music Composition, Chicago Lifetime Achievement Award, and inductee into the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame.

9:30-10:30 Making their Evanston debut, Standard American with Al Day, Charlie Madigan and Michelle Perry will entertain with jazz, folk and sweet sounds of guitar and voice.

10:30 Corky Siegel will return with another set to ring in the new year.

12 midnight: sparklers (That's as much fire as the City allows.) and ringing in the new year with Auld Lang Syne on the steps of the church.

Tickets $25/adults, $10/under 18. Also available after 12/10 at the 3 libraries and the City Clerk's office at 2100 Ridge.
