December 14 Event Celebrates Diversity of Co-op's Chicago Neighborhood
Wild Onion Market food co-op is located in Rogers Park at the northern edge of Chicago. It is one of the city's most demographically diverse communities — and Wild Onion is celebrating that diversity with a special event this coming Sunday (December 14) afternoon.
The event, titled "Holidays Around the World: Food, Stories, and Community," will be held at the market, 7007 N. Clark St., from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and registration is not required.
Here is how the folks at the market describe the event:
Wild Onion Market is closing out the year with a celebration that reflects the heart of Rogers Park itself. Holidays Around the World is a community event that brings neighbors together through the dishes that shape their traditions, with recipes prepared by local chefs and community members who call this neighborhood home.
For three hours, the co-op will offer the opportunity to taste global holiday foods, learn from one another, and enjoy the richness of a community where many cultures meet every day. It is a chance to slow down during a busy season, share stories over good food, and experience the many ways people across the world mark this time of year.
What to Expect
· A diverse selection of holiday dishes prepared by Rogers Park chefs and home cooks
· Opportunities for cross-cultural conversation and connection
· A welcoming space for neighbors to gather, taste, and celebrate together
Why This Matters
Rogers Park is a community of many cultures, and Wild Onion Market exists to reflect and uplift that richness. Holidays Around the World is more than a tasting event. It is a reminder that food can build bridges, spark curiosity, and strengthen community ties. By sharing the traditions that nourish us, neighbors learn more about one another and carry that understanding into the year ahead.
No tickets or RSVPs are required, just bring your curiosity, appetite, and willingness to connect.
