The 10th annual Lycee Francais de Chicago Fall French Market

The three-day event will feature cooking demonstrations from Chicago-area chefs, specialty and artisan goods from more than 75 vendors, an anniversary cake cutting, and supervised activities for children.

The event kicks off with a special preview party on Friday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. Attendees will be among the first to browse the goods from participating vendors, while also enjoying appetizers, beverages and live music.

On Saturday and Sunday, November 8 and 9, top local chefs and proprietors from Bistrot Zinc, Chez Moi, Cook au Vin, The Chopping Block, Metropolis Coffee, Patisserie Coralie, Saveur Cuisine, Spacca Napoli Pizzeria, and Troquet River North will hold cooking demonstrations, featuring everything from pastries to gourmet French savories. Attendees will be able to browse a unique selection of goods from local vendors, including specialty foods, art, clothing, accessories, home decor, antiques, and more.

A supervised Children’s Pavilion for kids ages 3-8 years and an arts and crafts center for kids ages 9 years and up will keep the whole family entertained. Children’s Pavilion activities include soccer, yoga, karate, and theater and art workshops.
