A dozen great Evanston kitchens pair with a baker’s dozen of producers to serve you an unforgettable meal at “The Harvest Celebration: Truck to Table at the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market.”
It all happens on Saturday, from 11am to 1pm, right at the Downtown Farmers Market.
It’s happening, rain or shine. A giant tent and community tables will be set up for you to enjoy your meal.
The adult admission is $50 for 8 tastings. Children 9 and under, up to 3 per family, are free, and will receive three tasting tickets each.
On Saturday, ticket holders should stop by the blue Friends tent in the southwest corner of the market to pick up their tasting tickets.
There will be entertainment, outstanding food, and a chance to say thank you to our great farmers, food purveyors, plant sellers and home grown artists. AND marvel at the fact that our Market is 40 years old! Come join in the celebration!
Here are twelve more great reasons to get your tickets right away–the pairings of restaurant/chefs and producers, along with a menu of the dishes they will be making for you.
