Tickets are now on sale for the Green City Market's 2nd Annual Fall Harvest Ball taking place on Sunday, October 28 from 4 - 8 PM. The fundraiser is a costume party with food and drink from some of Chicago's best chefs, mixologists and sommeliers.
Sommelier Jason Wagner, RM Champagne Salon and Nellcôte, will pour wines specially selected to complement the food. Goose Island Brewpubs, represented by Head Brewer Jared Rouben, will offer craft beers; cocktails will be available from mixologist Jordan Johnston of Frontera Grill. The event will feature an advance online auction with some incredible interactive, one-of-a-kind experiences, last year's most popular was a "Night Out with the Chefs," with Stephanie Izard, Jared Rouben, Jared Van Camp and Mike Sheerin…the bidding wars got pretty intense. So, help support Green City Market by dressing up and coming out to see what these spooky chefs are cooking up.
