We're bringing BBQ back

Green City Market is bringing Chef BBQ back — one of Chicago’s most anticipated food events of the year.

In a food festival unlike any other, Chicago’s top restaurants, brewers, winemakers, and mixologists provide tasting portions of locally-inspired dishes and craft beverages highlighting ingredients from Green City Market’s local, sustainable farmers. Tickets include all food and beverage available at the event; no need to purchase additional tickets once inside.

What's even more delicious? Your attendance benefits Green City Market’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit mission to secure the future of food by deepening support for sustainable farmers, educating our community, and expanding access to locally-grown food. 

Join us for year 20 of Chef BBQ and lift up your local food system. Get your tickets today.
