MashUp began in 2011 as an opportunity for business owners, city officials, university leaders, and not-for-profits to gather, celebrate, connect and acknowledge the contributions of those in the Evanston community.
For many years the event took place in a large tent on the lakefront at Northwestern’s campus but has since evolved into a much larger initiative that allows local Evanston businesses the opportunity to host in the community. This will be the second year in a row the event will be hosted by Richard Fisher Dealerships at The Autobarn Nissan and Service Center.
