Southport Green Market

The Southport Green Market is now being run by the City of Chicago and is located at Blaine School at the corner of Grace and Southport in the center of the Lakeview community.  The market dates are every Saturday from June 12th through October 9th from 8 AM until 12 Noon (except July 31st - due to the Summer on Southport festival).

Southport has quickly become a destination for boutique and specialty shopping.   This market will add a great local food dimension – a true food festival- to this street and will service the many residents and visitors that make-up the street’s foot-traffic.  It will provide an opportunity for consumers to buy directly from the people who grow and produce their food and serves as an integral link between urban and rural communities.

The SGM strives to offer the freshest, locally grown or raised vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, eggs and dairy.  The Market will also feature quality value-added goods such as artisan breads and regional specialties, and other food partners such as knife sharpening and food vendors.
