Early Bird Tickets Now Available for Green City Market’s Chef BBQ 2026

Early Bird tickets (via Eventbrite) are now on sale for Green City Market's Chef BBQ 2026, returning to Lincoln Park on Thursday, September 10 for its 25th year.

Chef BBQ brings together over 100 of Chicago's chefs, restaurants, brewers, winemakers, and mixologists for an all-inclusive evening celebrating the Midwest's peak harvest season. Every participating chef sources ingredients directly from Green City Market's network of local, sustainable farmers, creating tasting portions and craft beverages that showcase the region at its seasonal best.

More than just barbecue, guests can enjoy an expansive range of chef-driven dishes and beverages, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free offerings. One ticket grants unlimited access to food and beverage tastings throughout the event.

All proceeds support Green City Market's 501(c)(3) nonprofit mission to secure the future of food by supporting sustainable farmers, educating communities, and expanding access to locally grown food.
