Hire holiday party packages
in Evanston.

Full holiday party entertainment packages — host, emcee, custom games, themed performers, and (optionally) characters.

Chicago team building serves three audiences — Loop and West Loop / Fulton Market corporate HQs (law, finance, agency, tech) that want polished indoor formats, North Shore corporates and university-affiliated teams (Northwestern in Evanston, north-suburban HQs) that want gala-adjacent experiences, and convention-week internal teams in town for McCormick shows. We host outdoor scavenger hunts through Millennium Park and the Riverwalk in shoulder seasons, custom murder mysteries at private Fulton Market and River North venues, and game shows for all-hands at the Chicago Athletic Association and the Aon Grand Ballroom. Working improv performers as hosts, cold-weather uniform protocol when the call requires it. All staff are 100% W-2.

Showcraft serves Evanston and the surrounding IL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Evanston is the North Shore's university-and-corporate anchor — Northwestern University drives a year-round calendar of fundraising galas, partnership events, and Welsh-Ryan Arena / Ryan Field game-day brand work, plus the downtown Evanston / Sherman Avenue corridor hosts a real retail and dining event run. We staff registration and check-in for Northwestern alumni and fundraising events, sponsor-zone activations at Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Field, brand ambassadors for downtown Evanston retail launches, and hospitality crews for Hilton Orrington and Hyatt Place offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong polish — comfortable with university-affiliated and gala clientele. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Evanston buyers ask about holiday party packages.

What's in a Showcraft holiday party package for Evanston?+

Pro emcee, custom game show or interactive entertainment, themed performers, optional characters, and full coordination across the night. Holiday party packages in Evanston are built around your venue, your company size, and the kind of night you want — quiet awards-style or full-energy show.

How early should I book a Evanston holiday party?+

Earlier than you think. Peak weeks (mid-November through mid-December) in Chicago sell out 8-12 weeks ahead. We can sometimes accommodate later bookings with reduced format flexibility, but for first choice of date and venue, lock 10+ weeks before your target night.

Do you handle themed entertainment and characters for Evanston holiday parties?+

Yes — themed performers, improv hosts, and corporate-appropriate characters (mascots, holiday-themed performers, branded characters) for Evanston events. Performers are W-2, fully insured, and briefed on your run-of-show. Send the brief 4-6 weeks out for the cleanest casting.

How customized is the holiday party experience for my Evanston company?+

Fully. The host, games, and themed bits are scripted around your company, your team's inside jokes, and any awards or recognitions you want to weave in. Send your team brief and any year-in-review highlights 3-4 weeks out and we'll build the show around your Evanston group.
