Join in on the Chef BBQ @ Home fun all month long — watch the live event back and dine for good all month long. Now through August 16, we're kicking off a month of special Green City Market menu items at restaurants across the city. All menu items feature locally-, sustainably-sourced seasonal products from GCM and a portion of the proceeds goes back to GCM. Order directly from our partner restaurants and local breweries!

Green City Market Lincoln Park and West Loop are open now every Saturday. Learn more and plan your visit to GCM Lincoln Park or GCM West Loop.

While we are incredibly excited to welcome you back to the market, our primary concern is for everyone’s health and safety. We need you to do your part while supporting our local, sustainable farmers. Before your visit, please carefully review our safe shopper guidelines to plan a safe and efficient trip to Green City Market.

As our markets begin to re-open with social distancing guidelines, you have options on how to shop Green City Market! Home delivery and curbside pick-up are available every Wednesday. Pre-ordering on WhatsGood is also available (and highly encouraged!) for pick-up at GCM Lincoln Park.

Stay connected with Green City Market! Subscribe to our e-newsletter and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
