Community Events
There’s always something happening in Lakeview and Roscoe Village, including neighborhood festivals, farmers markets, and other community events. View upcoming community events below or explore our list of some of the most popular annual traditions.
Low-Line Market
The Low-Line Market is a conveniently located and carefully curated farmers market, with the goal of creating an experience where neighbors can meet and gather while having greater access to a collection of high-quality produce, proteins, flowers and artisanal foods from local farms and vendors. By providing an increased availability of local food sources within walking distance of a high traffic, residential area, the Low-Line Market aims to contribute to an increase in sustainability within our community.
Lakeview Roscoe Village Restaurant Week
Lakeview Roscoe Village Restaurant Week features special prix fixe menus from local restaurants available for takeout or dine in (if available per city guidelines). The prix fixe menus will be available for breakfast, lunch or dinner and there will be special family dinner packages. You can feel great about ordering any prix fixe menu, as $3 will be added to each order to be donated to local food pantries, Lakeview Pantry and Common Pantry. It’s the perfect way to support local restaurants while enjoying delicious meals and giving back to a great cause.
Participating restaurants and more details to be announced soon.
