Just Roots Annual Event

Chicago, Il | Just Roots Chicago | $
Our annual Growing Together event is a celebration of local food and farming in Chicago!

Our 2025 event will take place on Thursday, September 18th at the Chicago Illuminating Company.

The event features delicious dishes prepared by talented chefs from organizations like Avec, Eden, Meraki Hospitality, The Evolved Network, Q Ibraheem, Good Eating Company, Common Threads, and more.

Each chef will have their own station, allowing guests to directly engage with chefs and grab delicious dishes from their stations. All of the dishes will be made using fresh, organic produce from Just Roots' farms.

And in addition to the amazing food, the event includes live music, an open bar, and a silent auction.

All of the proceeds directly support Just Roots' mission to develop and expand access to local, sustainably grown food.

**Please note that groups who purchase half tables or tables will have designated seating during the event. Individuals who purchase early bird/general admission tickets will have access to general seating and standing room at high top tables.
