RAVENSWOOD — Summer's going to be even more bustling in Ravenswood, with the debut of a farmers market and a new festival.
The farmers market is set to launch May 25 and run weekly on Wednesdays through September, 4-8 p.m., at Ravenswood Evangelical Covenant Church, 4900 N. Damen Ave.
Vendors are still being recruited, but those that have already committed include Benton Harbor Bee Co., Hilary's Cookies, C&D Family Farms, Highrise Baking Co., Patyk's Farm & Greenhouse, Stamper Cheese Co., Yoberri and Yvolina's Tamales.
Save the date for June 25 and the inaugural Ravenswood On Tap hosted at Empirical Brewery.
The one-day festival, announced by the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce, will celebrate the neighborhood's craft breweries and distilleries, with proceeds to benefit area greening and beautification efforts.
The fest will be held outside Empirical's taproom, at the corner of Foster and Ravenswood avenues. Along with Empirical, participants will include Aquanaut, Band of Bohemia, Begyle, Dovetail, Half Acre, Koval and Spiteful.
