Shabbat Times in Evanston

For Friday 2026-10-09

Halachic note

Evanston follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.

Evanston boasts a vibrant Jewish community centered around its active synagogues and Northwestern University. An established eruv, multiple Orthodox shuls, and proximity to Chicago's kosher infrastructure make it a welcoming destination for Shabbat observance.
