We consider the differential geometry of evolutes of singular curves and give the definitions of spacelike fronts and timelike fronts in the Minkowski plane. We also give the notions of moving frames along the non‐lightlike fronts in the Minkowski plane. By using the moving frames, we define the evolutes of non‐lightlike fronts and investigate the geometric properties of these evolutes. We obtain that the evolute of a spacelike front is a timelike front and the evolute of a timelike front is a spacelike front. Since the evolute of a non‐lightlike front is also a non‐lightlike front, we can take evolute again. We study the Minkowski Zigzag number of non‐lightlike fronts and give the n‐th evolute of the non‐lightlike front. Finally, we give an example to illustrate our results.
