Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and settle in for a night of true stories told by your neighbors. Tales on Tap is Ridgeville's annual storytelling celebration—where Evanstonians take the mic to share funny, heartfelt, and unforgettable moments from their lives.

Whether it's a memory of growing up in Evanston, a fresh perspective from someone new to town, or a tale that takes a surprising turn, every story offers a glimpse into the people, experiences, and moments that make our community unique.

Come laugh, cry, and connect as we raise a glass—and raise funds—for Ridgeville's free summer performing arts festivals: Concerts on the Ridge, Theater on the Ridge, and Dance on the Ridge.
