It’s about time for our biggest annual event: The Harvest Celebration!

Join us on September 19, from 11:00-1:30 p.m. to celebrate the bounty we find weekly at our farmers markets and the 40th Anniversary of the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market by attending The Evanston Harvest Celebration, a “Truck-to-Table” community event hosted by Now We’re Cookin.’

This event will tantalize your taste buds, as top local chefs partner with prominent Midwest sustainable growers to deliver the culinary event of the North Shore season. For the first time, the family event will be held right at the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market, 1800 Maple Avenue, on Saturday.

Great Food, Great Price

Tickets give attendees to a wonderful eight plate tasting. Get your tickets by 1pm, September 5th, and save with early-bird pricing–$40. After the Farmers Market closes on September 5, ticket prices will be $50. Kids 9 and under receive 3 free kid meal tickets.

Here’s What Your Participation Supports

The Evanston Harvest Celebration benefits both the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market and Friends of Evanston Farmers Markets, a non-profit organization that educates the public about the benefits of eating fresh, locally grown foods, advocating greater access to healthy food for all community members, regardless of means.

Funds raised at the event will be used to continue Friends’ educational projects as well as provide support for its LINK matching program, which enables families who otherwise couldn’t afford the market to buy fresh produce, eggs and cheese. You will also be supporting The Spud Club, an in-market kid’s educational program provided by the Evanston Farmers Market.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you!
