Holiday Shopping

Tasting Table editor and former Dose Market partner Heather Sperling has put together what may possibly be the holiday market to end all holiday markets with tonight's Fête Chicago.This pop-up night market from 6-10 p.m. features a who's who of Chicago artisan food vendors, fashion designers and craftspeople. Eat, drink, be merry, and get your shopping done. Tickets ($5) are available here or pay at the door; a portion of the proceeds benefit Fresh Moves a local non-profit that delivers fresh produce to needy neighborhoods via a converted CTA bus.
