Evanston, Illinois Flag
🏴 3' x 5' Evanston, Illinois flag with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: The new flag of Evanston came from the Mayor's Youth Flag Redesign Contest during the 2023-2024 school year. A 7-year-old in 1st grade at Dawes Elementary School won with, honestly, a STELLAR design.
From the city website:
The flag features a prominent forest green background, symbolizing the abundance of Evanston’s urban tree canopy.
Near the center of the flag is a striking white star, representing the Grosse Point Lighthouse, a historic landmark. The star also signifies the lighthouse’s beacon of light, radiating from north to south, illuminating and guiding the community.
On the right side of the flag, a blue stripe represents the vast expanse of Lake Michigan, a defining geographical feature of Evanston and an important natural resource providing drinking water to multiple adjacent communities.
Parallel to this stripe is a golden band, symbolizing the sandy beaches that border the lake.
The layout of the flag is inspired by an aerial view of Evanston, integrating its key natural elements into a cohesive and visually appealing design.
